Amish Country

We drove about 80 miles east yesterday to Kinzers, PA - a town in Lancaster County in the heart of Amish Country. Today we took a sight seeing drive around the area and marveled at all the beautiful farmland. Barns, silos, farm houses, fields of corn and other crops, grazing cows and horses as far as the eye can see. And in some areas almost as many horse and buggies as cars. I just loved the horses they use for their buggies. These are not the large heavy draft horses used for plowing. These are sleek, long legged, high stepping beauties. We were impressed with the simple, yet hard working way of life lived by the Amish people.
