What Good is a Food Vacation if You Don't Try the Food the Country is Famous For??

Wednesday, we decided that our food journey was lacking something traditionally Dutch.  Cheese!!  So we decided to pay a visit to the Dutch city that's famous world wide for it's cheese - Edam.  

The city is by far one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to. The narrow, winding cobbled streets, the quaint little houses all tucked on top of each other, the deep, dark canals ducking under wooden bridges.  We parked just outside them main city and walked in, following the throngs on tourists who were there for the same reason as us - Edam (the cheese). 


Inside the city there were plenty reminders of days gone by.  People in traditional costume.  Clogs.  Beautiful canals and gardens.  I really just couldn't get enough.
