- I will for sure remember the bus tour and the Amish man at the Central Market. Wayne did a great job and made it a good experiance for me. And to have the oppurtunity to talk to an Amish man in Pennsylvanian Dutch was a great experiance. I couldn't imagine that we would understand each other that well. He was so nice, it was fun to talk to him.
2. What sounds, smells, or sights come to mind when you think of today's trips?
- I still remember the sound of the hooves of the horses we passed by. I really love that sound. And as we stopped at the store during the bus tour, the smell was that bad. It was just terrible. But Wayne told us about the good quality of the Amish furniture. I have to admit that I was kind of surprised.
3. What surprised you about today's experiences? Why?
- What actually surprised me today was that I was able to have such a good conversation with the Amish man at the Central Market. It was such a great experiance which I am really thankful for. What also has surprised me was that every Amish boy gets at the age of 16 his own buggie.
4. When did you feel most comfortable? When did you feel most uncomfortable?
- I felt most comfortable at the bus tour. It was comfy and Wayne was such a nice tour guide. I think he did a good job because he told it so interesting that I really enjoyed listening.
- I felt most uncomfortable during the house tour because our tour guide seemed not to be that much motivated. And especially as she said "I'm tired of talking"...
- I don't have any idea what to expect but I'm really excited for tomorrow. I hope at least to see the difference between the Amish and the Mennonite people and to hear how they sing.
6. What questions do you have?
- I would like to know about the Amish/Mennonite people is if it's a religion or conviction to live without electricity.
