I'd thought I'd post this link because of the unique place America must still be. I have never been to the USA and doubt I'll ever get to go as I'm getting on a bit now.
But as a commited Christian I am intriqued by the Amish people and there chosen way of life. Also by the fact that surely this could only happen in America.
But it looks like this life style is under threat from property prices.
