Back in Shipshewana

Since one of my goals is to report our complete USA-journey this summer on my blog, it is time to move on. Last post was about Chicago and I already wrote about Indiana in this post, so today it is mainly pictures with just a few words. Wanna join me?

In June last, we spent some lovely days in another century...

when traffic was quiet and overseeable, man and his animals working together

working the land, women keeping the house

all tidy and neat

this picture tells it all

A Dutch name on this fresh produce, surprising!

Pennsylvania Dutch?

Organic food galore in the Amish shops

Great antiques at the Shipshewana Auctions

Lovely little shops with very actual decorator articles

I have a secret affair with old licence plates...

gloves by the dozen (thousands really) at the famous Shipshewana Fleamarket



and of course the name of Yoder, and red barns too!!

a somewhat 'sneeky' picture, as the Amish don't like their picture being taken

Amish in Indiana, thank you for showing your life of basics, for giving us a glimpse into a time without hurry and ratrace, for reminding us where life is all about!

Thanks for visiting today

Regina
