A Trip to Amish Country

We had a fantastic week in Amish Country. 
Here are some of the pics from that visit.

One of the many beautiful Carriages

is getting stuck in Traffic like everyone else

The many Horses and Buggies were a treat to see. The people were wonderful and very friendly.

Sam Stolzfus, our driver with his team Solder and Sarge, what a nice man!

 

 

 

A drive through the country side with Solder and Sarg, Sam the driver and Gina was a high light of the trip.

Taking the team out to cut the Corn

Beacon Hollow Farm

 The visit to the Amish Farm Beacon Hollow was although very interesting.
The Amish originated in the same area of Europe, that I am from. My Swiss geman language is very simmilar to the Amish Pennsilvania Dutch and I could understand and talk to them.
The founders Name "Ammann" is very common in my mothers home town.
