We stayed at the Cunningham falls state park on Maryland which was a nice stop with showers.

This morning we did a 40 minute walk to the Cunningham falls, which was more of a trickle. It was a nice walk though already hot and humid.

We drove to Pennsylvania today and through some Amish communities. It’s neat seeing them go about there day on horse and cart, their bikes or their scooters.

We stopped at Katie’s kitchen which is run by Amish people. We’d heard it was good, but so had everybody else. It was 35 minute wait for lunch.

All the workers were Amish and the servers were young girls who were tall, thin and very attractive, like models. I wondered if they actually were actors dressed up in their fancy clothes. But I asked and she assured me they were Amish. I wonder what happens to the ugly ones? Are they left back at the village, slaving in the fields wondering why they aren’t allowed to work in the diner? Maybe there are no ugly ones. I’d love to write a book about them.

For lunch I had a meat pasta type thing and Mike had a corned beef an sourkraut sandwich. The food was ok, but I wouldn’t recommend queuing for 35 mins for. they also gave us a starter of fresh bread rolls and homemade peanut butter, but the rolls were so sweet I couldn’t eat them. They would have been better for desert.

After lunch we drove around the country roads to get a glimpse of how the Amish lived. You could always tell an Amish house by the bikes parked up outside and no cars.

A few places were selling fresh produce so we pulled into one and we’re greeted by a nice Amish lady and her young son. We bought some blueberries, cucumbers and she gave us a couple of plums to try.

It was another long hot and sticky day. Not Texas hot thankfully, but still hot. The heat is wearing us out a bit but it does cool down overnight and is almost chilly in the mornings. We found a campsite in lake locust state park and got a powered site, turned our air conditioning on, and fell asleep.

There’s no showers here, so a towel wash it was. We had bacon and egg wrap for dinner. Simple food for simple folk.
