to clarify -- this southern section of pa. is where a large population of amish folks make their home. the area is quiet and beautiful as you drive through the back roads of intercourse and surrounding towns. you are carried back in time as you learn more about the amish people and their unique lifestyle. horse-drawn buggies are everywhere and huge sprawling, pristine farms dot the landscape. the amish never allow photographs and most people, including me, respect that fact! hence, this fun image where ed and i stuck our heads through the painted posy openings and a gal offered to take our photo.
