The Amish don't drive automobiles or
tractors, so they go everywhere in horse-drawn buggies. We saw many of
them while we were in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. They were
usually good-looking horses and often running at a pretty good clip. It
reminded me of the movie "Friendly Persuasion".
. Chris and I took a ride in a buggy.
Jake, our Amish driver offered to take our
picture with my camera, but he would not let
us take his. Photographs, he explained, are graven images
and against his religion. I wish he had included more of his horse, Willie, in the picture, but maybe Willie is Amish, too.
