Cheese and Clogs

In front of the cheese and clog farm. From left to right is Hannah, me, Cecily, Sarah, and Allison.

This is where they make the Gouda cheese. The farmers wife was American...and went to the same high school I did! She was vacationing in the Netherlands, and her husband was giving tours of the family cheese farm that she now works on.

The half-way finished clog. They use to carve them by hand, but now everything is done by machine.

This is the Dutchman who makes the clogs. The clogs he is holding are from his great-great grandfather. The end of the clogs are either pointed or rounded, which symbolizes if the person was Catholic or Protestant.
