There were a lot of Amish at Assateague Island this summer. They are in full garb, but they have the whole enclave with them in vans. They cook on the beach in designated areas and stay the whole day. It was the first time I’d seen them in such numbers and so often.

There is a community like that at Kalona, Iowa, just south of Iowa City. I worked along side an Amishman at a mobile home factory while going to school and he told me the following Amish joke:

Do you know why God put Mennonites on the earth?
It was to give the Amishman a ride to work...

It may very well have been a family reunion.
I frequently read their newspaper The Budget. It is surprizing how often and how far these people travel.
They use the ‘taxis’ locally, but tour bus service between the Amish communities in Oh, Pa, and In, is a weekly occurance. They also take the train. Some districts, mostly New Order, allow flying.
