Rural Ohio

Sept 1 - 6.....We drove the short distance to Middlefield, OH a couple of times. There is a large population of Amish in this area. It was quite interesting to see the farms - we could tell which where Amish as Monday must be 'wash day'. Many farms had laundry hanging on the line! You could also tell as there were no cars/trucks in the yard - only buggies. They have no motorized equipment - we saw them mowing lawns with a push mower and working in the field with horse and plow. While in town we saw many horse and buggies - they seem to be everywhere. At the local Walmart there is a stable built to house them while they are shopping. Most businesses have a hitching post! That's something you don't see in many towns in America. The best part was lunch at Mary Yoder's Amish Kitchen. While there we also bought some homemade rolls & noodle.....mmmmmm!

On the 5th we moved on to Pennsylvania. We are currently at Roaring Run Rv Resort near Champion, PA. It is raining today so haven't explored yet! Still can't put a photo on as we can't get internet service with our PC - only by going to a library!
