Not really, they weird asf, you wanna get "ShUNnED"for having a doll with a face as a kid? Riding a bike? Taking a photo or video? Doing anything "wOrLDLY" basically existing will get you banished from Baptism and you go to hell. No phones, no cars, no paintings on the wall, must have a neck beard, can't shave. So lame bruh. Must wear long sleeve shirt and many more stupid rules and if u don't follow them u go to hell and get shunned and disowned by everyone

Western Marylander here! I had friend who had an old barn ! It was built in 1846! They hired some Amish to rehab their barn! They did a fantastic job! Another friend needed a new roof! She hired an Amish roofer! Again it was done and they did a great job! Good German craftsmanship! 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙

Great job describing Lancaster County Pa. I live right here outside of Ephrata, Pa. in the heart of the Amish community. They are a group of people that I look up to because of their religious beliefs and their work ethics. You did a great job and I appreciate sharing your journey with us.

We're from the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania area. In the summer time months, My husband and I vacation in Lancaster all the time . We have some quilts and most of our furniture is made by the Amish. Love this video ❣
Very interesting Trip. I love the Amish people, and great Respect to their horses who take them everywhere. Their life style is very obedient to God, which has my great Admiration...eventhough it is not always easy compared to European lifestyle.

Thanks for the tour of Lancaster county! I’ve lived in the county for about 70 years and you pointed out a few places I never visited like the pretzel stand. From my experience with the Amish, I find them honest, hard working and loyal people. They live and work with the “English” society but maintain a barrier so as to preserve their simple life. Good people.

I live about an hour from Lancaster here in Pennsylvania. I take my children down that way often. I find it very peaceful and calming. Almost like a second home 🏡 And most of the folks are so kind and welcoming.
I am blessed to have moved from Los Angeles to east central Indiana and can patronize Amish owned businesses here locally. I have a deep respect and admiration for these fine people, and I enjoy being in their company as often as I can.

Good day Lea. Always nice to share a wonderful moment of your trip on the East Coast every Thursday. Thanks for exposing us to Lancaster county and their great Amish community. Looking forward to next week...🙂🥨🏍
Great touring info., thanks for this educational journey. 👍🕊️ I have wanted to see this particular place for so many years yet I couldn't make it far beyond an Amish market in Germantown, Maryland. I'm glad that you included animal life with human culture in this tour.
Always an interesting topic the Amish community, thanks for Sharing! Greeting from The Netherlands!
This way if living is so stunningly amazing. It is a special part of a heritage that should be honored and respected by everyone.
Hi Lea, it´s an other exciting episode. Thank you so much, from México.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TOUR. I have read many books on The Amish, watched movies and highly respect their culture. This was just a great video. Your filming is just beautiful.
It's interesting to see different stuff. Thank you for sherry❤
My paternal grandmother had Pennsylvania Deutsch origins. Her family lives in Saskatchewan, Canada and the language has been lost by this time.
Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Ireland. Safe & Happy travels. ☘😀✌.
Lea your videos are amazing thank you very much for sharing with us cheers Eddy 🍷🇨🇦🇵🇹
Thanks Lea for the lovely tour of the Pennsylvanian Amish country. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you for sharing this! I want to take my family this summer to immerse them!
I stumbled upon this last night and I had to subscribe. A lot of the riding sequences are on roads that I ride to work and back every day. A sizeable percentage of my customers are Amish. You have done really well describing the Amish and have a better grasp of who they are than many residents of Lancaster County.
I was born, raised and still reside in Pennsylvania, about an hour and a half from Lancaster. Have been there several times including this past weekend. Where I live is also within an Amish Community with many of my neighbors being Amish and great friends.

Wow that's really cool and awesome place to see my friend. Great rides out there my friend. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS 🙏
Thanks for so sweet presentation and mine of knowledge about this God fearing , lovely community
I just found your channel and love it ! I went to Germany, Austria, Switzerland on my honeymoon! Some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Went from Munich to Bertsch Garden to Garmisch to Innsbrook to Lake Seelisberg to the Black Forest. Amazing ! Thank you for the journey, you are good !! Be safe 😄
We live only 25 mins from lancaster and visit there quite often while there visit must try Agape. Just love love the Amish people always so friendly love seeing horse & buggy’s reminds me of Little house on prairie show it’s so peaceful sometimes I just take the ride there country roads so relaxing
I LOVE your honesty!
I just returned from Lancaster,Pennsylvania and really wanted to learn about Amish history It was a beautiful trip and i would love to go back soon. Im very thankful i seen this video.
Thank you for this video, I live in Maryland, and I was really starting to wonder what the Amish community is like. I was eventually thinking to transfer to Amish, if they would allow it, but That would be a huge change! I will probably stay English. But thank you for this video. Very educating! 😊
Spent much time in this area. The city market in Lancaster is awesome. I had a dear friend who lived in Columbia and was able to tour many sites there.
I grew up very near Lancaster, PA. I love going there. My mother did a lot of shopping in Lancaster. So many great places. ❤😊 I went by many horse and buggies on my way to and from school daily. So many great memories. Currently live in Charleston, WV area.
Great video thanks for sharing
What a lovely, yummy and interesting glimpse into Amish culture! Your journey is really amazing! Next weeks' episode is a Got2Watch!🙏🍀🙋☺️!
Ciao and thank you for your very nice documentary Video, which i like to share at Facebook.. i wish you all a blessed and Happy new year 2024, many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃

Thank you for a great video. We go to Lancaster yearly and never miss a chance to go to the Countryside Road Stand. The root beer is so good. Thanks for showing me a new place. The GreenDragon Market will be on our to do list next time we go.

Country markets in Lancaster have their day of the week. Root's Market is Tuesday and is just North of E. Petersburg off Rt 72. Friday is the Green Dragon Market just North of Ephrata. Saturday is Lancaster Central Market in downtown. Anyone in town can direct you to just off the North side of the square.
Superb, sensational and amazing 😂❤
You have a beautiful accent. Great video on the wonderful Pennsylvania Dutch Amish community
Another wonderful video. I have been in that part of Pennsylvania before. Really nice. I have to get back there some time.
Great video! You got a wonderful shot of our yarn store in the center of town around 5:22! The Speckled Sheep. You definitely many of our favorite spots in the area!
Very well done! I really enjoyed your video. Thank you!
I've spent many hours in Lancaster County and you've done it justice with your channel. Thanks so much.
I love this episode!! We know a couple who live in Lancaster County, who were once in the Air Force with us. They left the Air Force after one enlistment and settled there in Lancaster County.....and started having babies!!! I'm not sure how many but at least 6 or 7....or more! Such a sweet couple, who are actually Mormon and not Amish. That part of Pennsylvania reminds me A LOT of the Rheinland Pfalz area of Germany....where I spent almost half of my Air Force career. It's no wonder why I love both places so much.......so beautiful.
Thanks for that insightful tour, Lea. I think the North American sugar industry has a deal with most food manufacturers to add sugar to most things they sell. I'm surprised it has hit Amish products too. You'll find a lot of products you get in Europe are much sweeter here. However that was a great tour. Didn't know about that cloister sect you mentioned. Happy and safe riding.
As a Pennsylvania native, I enjoyed your video very much. I have been to several places along your route. Made me feel good to see home. The food is definitely delicious all across Amish country and PA! Thanks!

Great video of the Amish Lifestyle! My wife and I are fans of the Amish and visit there atleast once a month. We go to the Green Dragon like you did. We'll normally get the homemade cinnamon rolls with that icing we also get donuts too. Everyone we've ever met there are so nice and very thankful that we've bought anything they've made. Thanks again for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

When you have posted the video about Amish people, some how make me remember a movie made in 2004 if I'm not wrong, called :"The Village". That approach are very interesting in many points of view... Mostly is a small stopped in time, even in the journey, well done and tasty to(the food, of course😋). Stay well!... ( )
You guys are really good people man. U guys have it right.
Oh my God beautiful and peaceful place, the Amish Comunity is a blessing
Interesting video! Thank you
SO GREAT!!!! I love this video ❤️❤️❤️
Grew up in the area around Lancaster, they are a wonderful group
Anoo 2022 it's incredible that some people live such a simple life. No stress, no hush hush...maybe we need to folow their example.
A good video for introducing the Amish community and their culture. I heard the "Amish " word from the English class. After class, I was pretty curious about Amish culture. Thanks for your introduction. Nice! Nice:)
Amish is pronounced -Ahh Mish ( like High German A )- Lancaster City is the oldest inland city in the US - The Cloister was known for it Fractur writing they made many Bibles and books - they use High German in their Sunday services which are held everywhere Sunday - off Sundays are for visiting family -
My 1st video of yours. I quickly looked at your other videos and I will check out your riding through Vermont. As a Vermonter I hardly ever hear my state mentioned. I ride on the back of my husband's bike we love our rides through our lovely VT roads
Love your video. Thanks.🌺
I discover your channel this morning.great job congrat
Very interesting insight into the Amish culture! I should totally get off my bike more often. 😂 I did a similar ride a little bit west of there with a lot of Amish communities. If you like some wildlife in your riding as well it was called the 'elk country scenic drive.' A 130-mile loop centered around Benezette PA. A decade ago PA brought in a few Rocky Mountain elk and they've since grown to a herd of 10,000+ in the state forests and game lands. I went in early October and the bulls were screaming and bugling...which was worth it but it gets a little bit crowded and touristy during the rut.
Beautiful history love you Lea
I've admired the Amish for years and this was another great video showing their lifestyle and history. Thanks for the upload. The only problem is that now I really want to try a Bavarian donut 😄❤️
懐かしい!35年前に行きました。楽しかっですね。特にキルトが素晴らしく綺麗でした❤
Lea, I really enjoyed your visit to the Amish community, it was most interesting, and your dedication in trying all those sweet treats on our behalf ha-ha. Mind you I don't know how those people in the cloisters survived on one small vegetarian meal a day, they must have been mighty thin or cheated a little, maybe. Don't think the Amish life is for me, but I can really understand it. Thank you.
Great tour! From Sweden
I lived near Lancaster for a few years when I was around twenty It's beautiful country and they had the best food. Also been to Bird In Hand
I live in Gettysburg, PA (which I see you stopped in!) so I am very close to Lancaster. There are some really great places to visit and enjoy. I guess we are attracted because it’s a very different “way” of life. I have to say I generally think “quality” when I think of Amish made goods/products/services. We also have a pretty large Mennonite community too!
Your facts on the Amish are very true! Most people do not understand their beliefs. Thank you!
I lived on western Maryland for several years, but I never made it to lancaster. I must go!
Awesome video!! Have been going for 50+ years and is truly no other place like it in the US. Great job
