Visiting the Amish




















So we decided to take a trip to visit the Amish. We went to Mesopotania, Ohio. It was about two and a half hours away. We had so much fun!! The Amish people are so nice. Scott spent over an hour in a handmade leather horse goods store. Needless to say we spent way too much money on stuff for Diablo. We got lots of fresh produce too. We bought the best corn, tomatoes, spun honey, spices, string beans, cheese, and handmade corn cobbers. We spent a lot of time talking to the owner of the horse shop. I guess they have an "Amish" language. It is a mix between Dutch and German. Everywhere you look there is hung laundry and gardens. The owner of the shop had a a pony the size of a dog that was just wandering around his property and playing with the dog. It was pretty cute. Needless to say we highly recommend going!
