Pennsylvania Dutch Country


Rode through Intercourse, PA -- beautiful farm lands and Amish passing through the town. There were interesting shops and I loved the quilt shop in town. Was interesting visiting a tourist Amish Village where we learned of the Amish way of life. On their farms some have diesel generators to power the water pumps and air compressor.
Kitchen appliances such as the stove and refrigerator were powered by propane and smaller items such as food mixer was powered by an air driven motor. The Amish will not connect to outside power sources such as public services as they believe that this is like an invasion of privacy, they will generate there own on site.
