    Jenny’s vacation diary

    Aug. 23: Amish Country

    Today we drove through Lancaster


    County, In Pennsylvania. It was a
    really interesting place –everyone
    we saw was wearing old-fashioned
    clothes. Dad said they’re called
    “Old Order” Amish. Many of the
    men had long beards. The women
    wore dresses and white hats. They
    are Christians and live a very
    traditional life. They don’t use
    anything modern; they have no
    cars. No radio or television. No TV? I think I’d go crazy! They don’t have electricity. Day
    said this is because they want to be independent from the outside world.

    Dad was tired, so we stopped at a small town. There were Amish people everywhere.
    Some were ridding buggies! I spoke to one guy, about my age. His name was Amos. He
    said around 25000 Amish live in Lancaster County. Then his mom came over and they
    spoke a strange language. Amos told me it‘s called Pennsylvania Dutch. It’s a little like
    German. He said Amish people speak this language with each other. They only speak
    English to “Englishers” (That is what they call people who aren’t Amish). I asked him
    why he wasn’t in school. He told me Amish children leave school at 14. Lucky them!!!
    Amos is 18, so he helps his parents on their farm.

    I wanted to take a picture of him, but he said the Amish don’t like people to take
    pictures of them because their religion says it’s wrong. So I shook his hand and said
    goodbye. Then he wrote “God go with you, Jenny” on a piece of paper and gave it to
    me! I was really pleased. My mom said he liked me. He waved at our car as we drove
    away.

    I think it’s hard to live in the past like that. Tomorrow, we’re going to Hershey Park. I
    don’t think I will see Amish there!
