We toured the East Coast once with a small group and ended our trip in Pennsylvania quilt country around Intercourse. We were invited to dinner with an Amish family. Oh, my goodness, the food- they just kept bringing out more and more! I made the mistake of asking to take a picture of their home. The lady of the house got angry with me. We had been learning a new quilting technique and I had a sample with me in my purse. I went in the kitchen and showed it to her so we were OK again... They had gas lamps- it was the end of summer time and it was kind of hot inside the house. All in all, it was a great experience.
