Amish in the City

Does anyone remember that show that was on a few years back? I dont really remember the premise but I think it had something to do with Amish kids being sent to live in the city and then they had a choice at the end to go back to their roots or to continue to live outside the community...

Anyway, I got to work this morning and saw an interesting sight. Walking down the street were 2 Amish people, I know this because, being from Mennonite Country I know the key differences between Mennos and Amish. (Most obvious: Amish have beards, Mennonites don't.)

And then I realized something. This is a strange sight. I'm in Ottawa, not in like, Elmira. How many Amish are rockin the Ottawa valley? It's so common to see Mennonites and Amish in the KW area that it didn't even faze me this morning. (Note, the picture on the left is from Elmira... I drive past this church whenever I go into town.

Funny that something like seeing a couple of Amish people walking down the street would confuse me to such a degree.

I miss home sometimes...
