Traditional Holland

As we were leaving Amsterdam, we stopped by a little town called Zaans Schans.  It is a bit of a tourist trap, but we enjoyed exploring and seeing what life was and is like for the Dutch working and living there.

Emily took this photo from inside the general store...I thought it was a great picture.

There is even a chocolate factory in Zaans Schans.

We are being served hot chocolate with homemade cocoa powder.
