During my adventure on the East Coast I went to Lancaster, PA. Lancaster is known for it's Amish community. The Amish are pretty cool. They have little shops that you can go buy things like farming products, dirt cheap. They also have German pie shops on every corner, they sell pies like, shoo fly pie. Never had it but if anyone has, please write to me and tell me how it is.
The Amish name their villages strange names like Intercourse and Bird-in-Hand. Stuff like that. Besides the food and products there is an amusement park. It is called Dutch Land. Kind of strange but they have 23 rollercoasters.
If you didn't know, the Amish are German and are required to learn German when they are children. So every time I would hurt myself in the car I would say shiza (sp.) which is $hit in German and my grandmother would say "Don't say that, they know what that means!"
"Oh yeah, Oops," I said.
But to get back on subject, in the morning you can see them doing their chores like plowing the fields and riding in their horse pulled buggies. The people controlling the horse are just about fearless. I have seen them get on the freeway and ride right in the middle of traffic.
When I saw one getting on the freeway I said " How many miles does your horse get on a full tank?"
Everyone started laughing.
