Good Night from Pennsylvania Amish Country

Mini girls' trip, two of us leaving Montclair 4:45 p.m. and arriving by 8 p.m. this Saturday night in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where our third formerly Montclair girlfriend just located to a great apartment. The three of us had an Indian dinner in the city and toured the great new apartment with the great (newly purchased) midcentury modern sofa and the cute cat and the organized cookbook shelf.

First friend found this Airbnb in Amish Country, a 30-minute drive from Lancaster proper, an old city that looks cool architecturally, historically, culturally and in kindness (it has a big mission to help the homeless and underprivileged, and our friend has already volunteered there). We two are sharing this very affordable and very well-appointed place for one night. Tomorrow the three of us meet up again at 10 a.m. and explore the pretty patchwork of Amish farms, horse and buggy wagons, a quilt shop, etc. Traveling back in time.

We plan to start the 2-hour drive back by 3:30 or 4 p.m. I hope to report back tomorrow with interesting findings.

Good night from a place where electricity is often shunned (but not in this Airbnb).
