While Brock, Leola, Duane and I were visiting Amish Country in and around Shipshewana, IN yesterday (see Amish Country blog), we saw lots of things that we expected to see:
buggies for sale
buggies for sale
bicycles at a school
cutting hay with a 4 horse team
bicycling adults
stores selling Amish made furniture, food, and decorations.
Some things we did not expect to see included this very new, very modern, very large (women's) restroom
longhorn cattle,
and more than one modern entertainment venue offering shows and tours.
Interesting contrasts we saw: buggy crossing sign outside modern mall area with the traditional name of Yoder,
buggy driver getting gas
two kinds of buggies parked in a driveway
buggy horses with semi and sign for power equipment
all kinds of vehicles sharing the road.
Tomorrow--Lake Michigan again.
Louise and Duane
