Hi Dear Folk,
I do think the covered bridges are a must see in Pennsylvania, the construction inside is so interesting with a huge bowed beam on each side.
Working horses.
I think it is better to visit the Amish Country during the week, because it can be a little too busy with tourists on the weekend. If you can get off some of the main routes you are out in the quieter countryside and can enjoy the farmland and stop by a wayside stall and pick up delicious home made pies, breads and pickles. Lovely to look at the Amish Quilts and wander through an old general store, or fabric shop. Or on a hot day, buy home made lemonade from the children's stand.

It is a beautiful peaceful place and I love the covered bridges as they take you back to another slower, quieter time.
ReplyDeleteLove those bridges. They reminds me of Bridges Of Madison County, that movie :)
ReplyDeleteYes they do remind me of that movie, and we have quite a few in Pennsylvania, their construction inside is so interesting. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteThese are such beautiful pictures! It's amazing to think that some people have been able to withstand the onslaught of ore modern day society, and stay true to their origins.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, Thank you for stopping by. Yes the Amish are very interesting and it's always a joy to visit that area.
