The Amish are coming! The Amish are coming!
Great people IMO.
It is refreshing to go past their farms and see kids outside playing in the evening, women out tending their gardens and men coming home from a hard days labor. People producing food? Minding their own businesses? it doesn’t get any better than this.

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.

My brother runs a bus service for the Amish. His business is booming but he doesn’t make much.

On the other hand the only people who dress like the amish and have similiar values are the ultra orthodox jews.
but for some reason, they ain’t so funny.
