CHOC Rally

May 13-14, 2012

We're in Manheim, PA at a "rally" with other owners of our type of RV. There are 26 other motorhomes here and the campground looks like a Coach House Platinum sales lot. We're eating a lot of catered meals and taking various bus trips. We're doing things that we probably would never choose and/or get around to on our own, and enjoying them all. These rallies really are a lot of fun.


We spent a day in the portion of Lancaster County, PA where there are a lot of Amish. There are oddly named towns like Intercourse, Blue Ball, Virginville, and Bird-in-Hand. We started the day at an Amish farmhouse where we saw how the Amish live. We also saw some barnyard animals and particularly enjoyed this sow and her piglets. She and Rick were snorting at each other.


Here's a picture of me kissing a goat.

We had an amazing lunch at a family style restaurant called Good and Plenty and spent the afternoon at a cool general store and quilt museum. There was much "local color" in the area. The Amish buggies were constantly clipclopping by at the same time that cars were whizzing past.

Rick got this shot of several Amish children who were barefoot, playing outside. It was raining steadily and about 60 degrees.
