Amish Visit

well right off we have no idea why these pics came out so big but the pic of missy didn't.  Went over to Lancaster County to experience the amish.  Was a very interesting day.  Had to wonder why someone would name a town "Intercourse" and "Bird In Hand" so did some research and found that in 1814 when Intercourse was re-named, the term had a different meaning, it meant "pleasant mutal fellowship" and since the area was a crossroads for commerce that name just seemed to work.  As far as Bird In Hand, many of the germans coming thru the area did not speak english and could not read or write but used visual signs as markers of where they were so a picture of a man with a bird in his hand won the day.  2nd day of heavy rain coming down with thunderstorms.  Love the pic of missy after the ride out.   1 of the parties here in the park is from Grass Valley, CA up near Logan & Kristy and they are headed to Maine where he says he intends to put a serious dent in the lobster population. Off to Gettysburg tomorrow.
