Our last trip to Pennsylvania involved numerous trips to Amish country, mostly to eat!
We tried several country-style buffets before concluding we liked Miller's - and Good 'N Plenty in Smoketown the best.
There is something restful about visiting the region's small towns and farms.
But I also felt a vague dissatisfaction that the simple country life we go to see...
... has become a museum-like rarity.
I felt like a voyeur, spying on a lifestyle that's a remnant from another age - without knowing what to make of it.
What do I really know about the Amish, who cling to life as their forefathers knew it? Only that they still drive horse-drawn buggies and dress in black.
