Visit to the klompen museum. Making wooden shoes the old fashioned way.,
It looks easy. Here, let me try.
After the shoe is shaped, the inside is carved out. Glade, remember how we struggled to make your shoe. It's not so bad when you have the right tools and the right wood.
Inside the museum. The plaques show the steps in making a wooden shoe.
There are wooden shoes for every occasion.
Every style imaginable.
You can even add strings and make a musical instrument.
This is a shoe for the groom showing his bride before marriage.
Turn the same shoe upside down and this is what happens.
Be sure to click on the Play button to enjoy some folk singing.
As we left the town we were entertained by a mens choir singing sea shanties. They were good but it was interesting to hear the Beach Boys "I Want to Go Home" with a Dutch accent.
Part of the entertainment was this little band.
Click the Play button and listen.
And we could not pass up this opportunity to do a little polka on the streets of Enter, The Netherlands.
