The day started with a leisurely ride through Eastern PA
heading to our destination.
We stopped along the way and met some very friendly horses not
in the least bit camera shy.

Rolling through Intercourse PA we observed the downtown area
and then stopped for lunch at Hand In Hand Vol. FD. They were having a fundraiser lunch that
included all you can eat chicken pot-pie.
Where I grew up this recipe was called chicken and dumplings. The meal was accompanied with fresh baked
rolls, side veggies, fresh iced tea, lemonade and dessert. The kind of meal that “sticks to your ribs.”
During lunch I captured images around the FD and chatted
with locals “Danny” and the Fire Chief.
Religious rules prevent posing for images. We chatted about our respective
cultures. I learned that some religious
sects differ in the Amish community.
Some churches prohibit the riding of pedal powered bicycles but allow
the use of scooters. We also chatted
about the challenges of finding volunteers to drive the fire trucks.
After the satisfying meal and conversation we were given a
tour and saw the process of making our meal then off to Lancaster.
Have a look at some of the images captured from the first
portion of the trip.
