All Aboard!

Strassburg Railway next stop.  Carroll was in Paradise on this historic steam train ride through Pennsylvania Dutch country.

 The rest of our day was spent driving through Amish country on our way back to Baltimore.  I really enjoyed looking at these beautiful white, curtainless, autoless homes.  We saw several buggies and many horse drawn plows or other farm equipment.  The children go to their own private schools and I was delighted that we happened to be driving by a school when the children were being dismissed.  They looked so cute as they came bursting through the door in their black pants, skirts and aprons and their blue or purple shirts and blouses.  I tried to be respectful of their beliefs and I did not try to take pictures of them but if you look carefully you will see a farmer or two from a long distance.
