last saturday, we visited another castle in the area. this castle seemed more like a fancy home to me.... i believe it was the mayor of amsterdam who lived in this castle in a town called baarn just outside of hilversum. the 2nd floor had a few rooms that were fixed up to function as conference rooms and even a wedding chapel. The top 2 floors of the castle were actually set up like a modern-day children's museum.... interesting!
the kids seemed to enjoy the children's museum portion... it was an exhibit on farm animals.
we found a pair of these wooden shoes as part of a "dress up" section.
i must say that just this week i actually saw someone wearing a pair of wooden shoes - it was a construction worker - working on the round-about near our home! i am sure we have all tried to "squeeze" our foot into an uncomfortable shoe at one time or another - but i can't imagine that those shoes would be very comfortable to work in? perhaps i should try a pair - before i judge!
