Today we went together with our host students to school for two periods.
Afterwards we all met in front of the principal’s office to go to Volant. The ride took about an hour, which we all used to sleep a little because we were all still exhausted from yesterday’s trip to Pittsburgh.
Volant is halfway between Erie and Pittsburgh and some residents are Amish. The Amish live without electricity and only use horse carts for transportation. They obey strict religious rules so we were not allowed to take any pictures.
In Volant there are 30 unique shops and restaurants and a couple of different events during the year. Most students walked through the town to get an impression of what the Amish offer. We bought some tasty organic cookies and tea.
After that we headed to the Grove City Premium Outlets. This is a huge shopping mall which is divided into seven different buildings with more than 100 shops!
We had about 2 hours to look around and buy something, which was far to less time for most of us. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.
