Ohio

Well we made thru Indiana and entered Ohio. This leg of the trip was very interesting. I stayed off the freeways and drove the country roads. We came upon an Amish Group on the road. The pictures are very neat. These people still live a very simple life. To the grandchildren could you see your life without running water, no TV, no radio, no electric lights, no riding in cars, no McDonald's, must wear the same type of clothes everyday, and especially NO CELL phones. Would all the things I mention would make your life a little bit hard. Yet these people live a very simple life and from my perspective they are happy when Maile (grandma and myself see these people. They do get to shop at Walmart LOL. We got a few pictures of the people.

Turn of the Century school house



Look back towards the trees I know it is hard but this is Amish with a load of hay with horse and wagon


During the road trip we encounter rain so hard that you could not see 10 feet in front of the truck. We had to pull over to wait for the rain to stop. Most everyone did the same thing. There is some pictures of the landscape of the area which I thought was very nice.

Now today is Maile's (grandma) birthday. You will see picture of a cafe I took her for breakfast. At least it was not McDonald's.

Tonight we are staying in a little one horse town (small) in Ohio for the night and continue I trip tomorrow. We will be traveling thru Cleveland, Ohio.
