East Coast Day 11: Ephrata & Lancaster
Sep. 15th, 2009 12:15 amToday was all devoted to the Lancaster County. We visited the Ephrata Cloister and then wandered around for the county to end our tour in Lancaster city. The cloister was nice, maybe a little sad, so empty where once a time there was so many labor around, but the guide was a really nice woman, and she was very convinced in highlighting that the women of that time were strong as well as the men if not more, despite what their leader said. The county was nice, even if it was strange to see the people in a gig, and then lawning the grass with a little tractor... but I suppose the real Amish people were not around there. Lancaster herself was not so good, we only stop for eat and then head towards Baltimore where I'm sleeping tonight.
