Amish Buggy Legroom

The Ubiquitous Amish Leg

After living around the Jamesport Amish, you begin to notice subtle behavior patterns. One of the local Amish habits always brings a smile to my face. In the summer, local Jamesport Amish like to dangle a leg out the door of their buggies while they cruise the highway.
I asked a local Amish girl (see photo) if she agreed that it was a common practice to dandle a leg while driving the buggy. She laughed and said that I was correct, and that they do like to dangle a leg as they ride. Just one more reason to enjoy the laid back life here!
