June 30, 2008A friend and I went to photograph nearby waterfalls. These falls are not well advertised in the southwestern PA location. We have had a good amount of rain the last few weeks so the water flow was strong.
While we explored, a group of Amish youth gathered at one of the waterfalls. They all arrived in horse drawn buggies. Three buggies in all delivered about six teens, all male. They must have been doing the Amish right of rebellion that the youth are permitted to engage in when they turn 16 or some age around then. They smoked cigarettes and seemed to enjoy hanging out with a few non-Amish friends that had rock music going out of their car.
My personal opinion is let them have fun. The Amish might not be perfect but they live a life much less displeasing to Jesus than most of the rest of us; that is for sure.
