Touring with family

Brother-in-law Johan pays the toll.

Many bridges in Friesland still use the old method of collecting toll.
As you pass through the bridge, the bridge operator passes a wooden shoe that is attached to the end of a fishing pole. You drop in the money, and are granted passage.














As we enter "Sneek" ( or Snits in Friesian) we see many old flat bottom freight boats. These are old freight boats that are converted into pleasure crafts and sometime their occupants live in them permanently.




































Cheese is a big commodity in Holland as every one knows.
Is that why the Dutch are known as "cheese heads" ?????

Here are two cheese heads in this picture.










This store had many choices, Old, young, and every thing in between.

















How about a "burning nettle" choice!?!?!?

I know some one who would appreciate it!!!!!


















Some of "Snits" architecture is unique and old like every town in Europe.











The town square where we enjoyed lunch on the side walk.

We actually had four days in a row that were quite nice and no rain.!!











When we were done touring, we returned to Le reve, docked along the canal going through the city.
