      NYC to LA. Go west old man!

      October 9, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Left New York and headed into Pennsylvania to Amish country and stayed a night on an Amish farm.
      They’re buggy riders here. You see cars are the work of the devil but apparently the devil didn’t create leaf blowers because we saw a Amish farmer with three buggies in his garage using a petrol leaf blower on the drive.
      Some drive tractors, others use horses to plough. We guess it’s how committed they are or how closely they think the lord might be watching.

      The classic was seeing a buggy pulled into the gas station filling up petrol containers on the back, probably trying to fool the lord again.

      Photos aren’t great quality as we didn’t want to offend. They probably have had enough of resembling a theme park, tourists invade the area and their buggies compete with speeding traffic on the roads.
      We did find some quieter roads, if there is such a thing in America and got away from the main tourist haunts. There most of the “car” park was filled with buggies.
      Inside the store it was all Amish doing their shopping and loading up the buggies for the ride home.
