Actually, it's about finished. What a beautiful area! We actually stay
fairly busy at the sites here in the fall. There are a number of tour
buses which bring loads of tourists to the area just to see the fall
leaves. We're not surprised! It is quite stunning, as you can see!
We also have quite a few Amish folks living in the area. Amish are of German descent and speak both English and German. But being several generations removed from Germany, their German seems to have changed a bit. I spoke something fairly simple in German to a couple of the children but they had no idea what I said. Not that my German would be anything to brag about!
It is really interesting to see them as they plow their fields and work their farms with only horse power to do it. It's amazing what they are able to do!
This is the kind of scenery we drive through to get to the historic sites every day. The leaves are extraordinary, as you can see. In Utah, to see something even close to this, we have to take a nice trip through the mountains. They can't here. They don't have any mountains!
But, we haven't had snow yet, like Utah has!
Don't you wish you were here? Come on up!! We have two weeks left! We'll take you on tour!
Oh, yeah. We will be heading for home in about two and half weeks. We've enjoyed it here but it will be really nice to be back in our home where we can where we have to get out of our dinning room chair in order to reach things like the stove, the cabinets, the sink, etc.!
