Thankfully a room was available which amazed me considering it was a holiday weekend. We also saw countless horse-drawn buggies making their way along 340. I've read a great deal about the Amish over the years. The Amish attend church every other Sunday at a member's home. Their place of worship varies as each family takes turns during the year hosting the church service.
Most Amish homes have rooms that are separated by partitions.
In preparation for the church service, the partitions are removed so that there is one large room in which to accommodate a couple of hundred people. The church service itself lasts three hours and is conducted in German. Now imagine for a moment sitting for three hours on unpadded, backless wooden benches without a break to stand and stretch or walk around a bit. That would be very uncomfortable to you or me, but the Amish don't seem to mind it at all. As I mentioned in the other column, exploring the back roads that traverse the farmlands is our favorite activity while we're in the area.
