This was an old town that struck me as a Dutch version of Jamestown or Williamsburg. 'Twas fully equipped with cheese, windmills, and wooden shoes - a classic Dutch experience. It was really interesting to see some of the windmills in action - through a series of gears, they were harnessing the wind power and grinding different materials into pigment for painting. The tour guide informed us that some artists actually still use this pigment today, which is pretty cool.
Wooden shoes (clogs)-Pretty amazingly ornate. They're no uggs, but still pretty cool.
