Day 9

White River Lighthouse

This is Lake Michigan, she was rolling.

This is Clarence our buggy driver and tour guide.

This is some of their work horses. They are bigger horses than what they use to pull the buggies. These horses pull the hay bailers and other farm equipment.

This is in the barn where the cows were getting milked.

This was the guy that drove us. He had a very strong Amish dialect and was hard to understand at times. He is hooking the horse back up. He had let it rest in the barn and eat.

This is the farm we went to.

Today we went to one more lighthouse. Lake Michigan was kicking up pretty good. Looked like an ocean. After that we went toward Northern Central Indiana to the Amish Country. We ate lunch at http://www.essenhaus.com/ Oh boy was is good. Home cooked meals by the Amish. We then went to Shipshewana. It was like a little Gatlinburg. Gift shops and just loved watching the Amish riding in their buggies. We took a buggy to a real Amish working farm. Got to see the husband and wife milking their cows and their daughter getting the milk bottles ready to feed the calves. We didn't get many pics because it came a pretty hard rain shower. I admire those people how they live. No electricity. Although now they do use propane in their house. So they have a way of getting hot water, can cook on a propane stove and heat their house. We are now in Rochester, IN and are headed to more covered bridges tomorrow.
