Zaanse Schans, Holland

Our next stop was at the open air museum - Zaanse Schans. This gave an overview of past life in Holland. This included cheese making, wooden shoes, working windmills - grinding, woodsawing, and oil making.








Cheese looks good!!!








The wooden shoes are made of poplar wood.
They last for many, many years. No longer do they make the shoes by hand. It takes only 15 minuets to make a pair. One side is a model similar to making a key.









Finally found shoes that fit!
