Where to live and where to vacation?

City, suburbs, rural, beach, mountains, etc…. where do you prefer to live? Where do you prefer to vacation?

I’m rural where I live. I live in the woods and around that is cattle pastures and agriculture fields. Traffic jams in my area are combines and tractors.

When we vacation, we go where we can hike. The mountains would be my preferred area. Something about them just draws me in.

We’re rural too! Horses, cows, Amish everywhere. It’s very relaxing so our vacations are to visit family.

We have Amish scattered around. Mainly just ag and cattle around me, though.

It’s fun watching the kids when they walk to their one room schoolhouses. They started wearing safety vests because people around here aren’t very considerate and are careless.

Yeah. They make the buggy have orange triangles here and if they ride at night, they must have lights.

Personally, I agree.

If I have to, they should have to, as well.

The lights are so important! We’ve had too many buggy accidents even with lights because people can’t wait a few minutes to try to get around them. It’s so sad.

We’ve had a few die from accidents over here, even some Amish kids. They adults acts like it’s just God’s will, when it could have been completely prevented.

It really hurts my heart to learn about the deaths of children.

More and more Amish are using drivers now when they have to go places, and that’s smart!

Yeah. Way too many people driving and not paying attention to the road these days.

I would love to live in an urban city cause there are more opportunities there, which means more chances to make money. As for vacation, I think the beach would be a beautiful place.

Urban definitely does mean more money making opportunities, but at least we have the internet for us in the country!
