Lancaster County

I went to Lancaster County on Monday in very steamy 101 degree heat. I visited the People's Place Quilt Museum (and associated shop) where there was a wonderful display of quilts although perhaps not as many Amish ones as I would have liked to see. It was rather odd to see Amish farmers in the fields ploughing without mechanization and to have horse and buggys on the road along with all the cars and trucks. It seems to be a rather uneasy coexistence to me. The area is very much a farming area but it is being overtaken with quilt shops, pottery shops, etc and was very commercial in my opinion.
