"Amish in the dark"
Today I am leaving to go see my grandfather in the mountains of Virginia. I am so excited because I haven't really been around him much since my grandmother passed away in February. He has been such a huge part of my life and it will be interesting to see what its like just hanging out with just him and not with grandma.
One of my favorite stories about him is when he took me and my friends to see Amish in the dark! Did you know that Amish really like to hang out in the dark? Anyways me and my friends went to visit my grandparents for the weekend and on Saturday night they took us all out to eat at their favorite Chinese restaurant called, "Charlie's" which is another story in itself. So after our exotic meal at Charlie's my friends start talking about wanting to see Amish people because they had never seen any and there is a settlement about 20 miles north of my Grandparent's house. Well my grandfather overheard all this talk about wanting to see Amish and he looked at his watch, and decided we are going now!
At this point I have to mention its around 7:30 pm in the summer and starting to get dark, using my fabulous physics skills which factor in my grandfather's driving habits equals getting over to Amish country around 8:30 pm. We think this is a joke, no joke we are going to see those Amish. So we drive and drive and drive to where the Amish live. Of course its dark and of coarse Amish have no electricity so we are basically looking at complete dark houses and anything that moves in the dark. Needless to say we saw no Amish that night but I bet they saw us!
To this day I love visiting that Amish settlement, but only if its dark! Is there any other way to see Amish?
