(Image to the right shows long time friend, Samuel, and his fishing trailer behind.)More often than not the English assume that the Amish, being a hard working lot, do not spend much time doing things that they (English) do for recreation. This is anything but the truth. In fact, our buggies and horses are more than capable to handle the many tasks needed in order to have a good time. As seen pictures here many types of trailers can be attached for varios forms of entertainment. More times than not, Amish men like ourselves will hitch up the ol fishing boat for a few hours out on the pond. Being that we're guys most of the same things are discussed while out on the lake as well. True to the mens code, after all, what's said on the lake stays on the lake. When we return home tales of 'the big one that got away' are not often told though. As is the case the big ones are brought home due to superior fishing skills along with many lures some English fellow lost when his 'big one' got away. Because of this we don't need to purchase any, if anything, for fishing.
While it has been an educational and entertaining month discussing the many forms of trasnportation and the uses of our buggies I must leave you untill next month. After all, we have some fish and lures to go get out of the lake before winter sets in.
