| Pop trying is hand at making clogs |
One of the things we Americans identify with the Netherlands are wooden shoes. However, the Dutch don't refer to them as wooden shoes. They call them clogs. During our first day here while exploring our neighborhood and getting our bearings, we cam across a gentlemen demonstrating the craft of making clogs. With Pop's background in woodworking, we were quickly into a conversation about how these shoes are made. He showed Pop the different tools used and told us that clogs are typically made out of willow trees. Now that he's seen how it's done, don't be surprised if home-made clogs make it into stockings this Christmas.
