This man showed us how he makes wooden clogs. He has been making clogs ever since he was a little boy!
From left to right is the stages of making wooden clogs! Wooden clogs are the traditional shoes of The Netherlands!
Canals are very common in The Netherlands. They're like roads, but for boats!
I took a tour through a town on a boat! We saw the whole city just using the canals!
If someone is having a baby people in the Netherlands celebrate by eating bread with pink sprinkles if it's a girl and blue sprinkles if it's a boy.
This is the first bike I started using when I first arrived in The Netherlands. Easy to see me on the road!
This is my friend Josh exploring an old traditional Dutch house! Can you see how thick the roof is? That's because it's made of many, many, many layers of straw! I hope it doesn't leak when it rains!
Here is a better view of an old traditional Dutch house. You can see the bright red paint and straw roof.
