#64 A DRIVING/ AUDIO TOUR of
ARTHUR IL.
We rented a CD,they gave us a map and off we went to tour the Amish community of Arthur Il.
The first two photos show us about a time in the past when our life was lived at a slower pace.
The little building is a phone booth not an outhouse. The Amish cannot have a phone inside their home.In each district they have a building like this for the community to use the phone.
Whenever you see a group of wagons you know it is an Amish school house and school is in session.
Photo five is the house Jan and Dean lived in and Julie too.
The green wagon is a church wagon. This wagon is parked in front of the house that is hosting church on Sunday. It carries chars,tables and plates etc. They meet for about eight hours including a meal.{my guess is this wagon is being repaired}
A house,phone booth,wagons, and barns.The drive included a distinct smell.

My sister, Lori, lives in Monticello so we get in that area at least once a year. She loves to go to Beachy's market. I think our favorite was when it was pouring rain so hard one day you could hardly see and there was the Amish buggy going through the Hardee's drive through -didn't have my camera. They ahve some fun festivals in that area also. Thanks for sharing, Nancy
