We went to a little village that is just how it would have been in the 1600s. It is on a river with wind mills and little dutch houses. There were also workshops that showed us how they made and wore wooden shoes and made cheese. We went up into a windmill that made peanut oil and watched how it worked. It was very interesting.

Lucky, lucky, lucky. It all sounds so great. I'm jealous of all the time you're spending with the Hughes family also. Brie looks so cute and mature in her little coat. Sometimes I have to remind myself that you do still live in UTah. It's been SO long, and action packed. What a great trip.
Hey, ummm, that shoe that Scott is standing it looks like the one that Alicia and I stood in, on our European Dream Vacation 2001. But ours was in Amsterdam, right? The Amsterdamians probably just copied the "authentic" one from the VERY fun-looking 1600s village. Also, I love the cow spotted wooden shoes in the pict where Alicia is lined up with the rows of shoes. Also, I soooo wish we could have been there at the cheese tasting. That sounds scrumptilicious!
