“I hate the Amish”

A day of no hiking to rest our old legs. We did a carriage ride where one of the women said she hates the Amish. Never heard that before. But after hearing how she lives right by them and they let their horses crap right on the street and just leave it, sometimes right in front of her driveway, I see her point, that's pretty rude. Carriage ride was a very relaxed way to see some of the park and hear it's history. Basically John Rockefeller Jr. and some other obscenely rich people donated the land. Rockefeller built all the carriage roads when it was still his property to have places where there were no cars. We also went on a late afternoon "Seals and Fjord" cruise. Where, you guessed it, we saw seals, they were cool, wish the boat had slowed more or even stopped by their island so we could look longer. Also, we learned there's fjords and fjards. A true fjord has a "dead zone" at the bottom where nothing lives. A fjard apparently has a zone where very few things live. Saw a lot of birds and nests. Cool view of a Cormorant drying its wings so it could fly and one big-ass Osprey nest. It was a nice day off from a lot of walking/hiking.
