This past Frday we had some friends from Boston fly in to visit for a few days. One of the day trips we took with them was to De Zaanse Schans in the Netherlands. It is an outdoor museum with many of the typical Dutch things to see. There were several windmills, all serving different purposes. We were able to go into the paint mill and watch how everything worked. Then we climbed up a ladder to the top for a better view of all the other windmills and the "town". We watched how wooden clogs were made and were surrounded by every color clog you could think of. There was also a cheese shop that offered samples galore. We spent a few hours there and warmed up inside with lunch. Our friends got there wooden clog and windmill pictures, that is a "must do" when you visit Holland. It was a nice trip and I am sure we will visit again when we have warmer weather.
