We went to Laancaster PA on a day trip once when I was visiting friends in Philadelphia. I felt like I was driving through a postcard of rolling hills and tall corn. As a quilter, I was impressed with the quality and design of the beautiful quilts we saw, and I had the best fudge I've ever tasted.

I grew up right beside a Mennonite community, is that the same thing? Anyways I saw them all the time, but they keep to themselves and never mingle with outsiders. I don`t even think some of them speak English. I was told lots of them only speak German. I have been to and through their communities many times. I had a friend for a while that lived in their community, and I would go there often.

I grew up near some Amish in the mid-west, they had a little general store we used to get pies from, GOOD stuff! They are nice people too.

Yes, at least 4 times per year I go to the largest Amish settlement in the United States which is about a 2 hour drive from where I live. When I was a small child it was absolutely wonderful and magical as there were very few of "English." Now, the place is over-run by tourists but then again, most of the Amish enjoy the money it brings in selling their goods. The most popular items they sell to the English are cheese, baskets, baked goods, hand made furniture. I recall as a 10-year-old, getting out my camera and taking pictures (face shots) of some of the Amish. I caught heck in German from one of the grandmothers! He-he!
