Day 3 October 20 part B

After a lunch of a salami hoagie with famous Belgium fries for dessert, we joined a group for a ride out into the country. We went to a heritage village where locals reenacted old trades. We watched them make wooden shoes. ( The old way took about 5 hours per shoe, but the hand machine took about 5 minutes.) Then on to a working mill ( think windmills here) where they ground limestone to make chalk and ground other minerals to make pigments for the making of oils for artists' paints. This  was done while it was raining sideways; a real NW storm. Then onto to Edom ( like in cheese) and to enjoy some apple cake and coffee. By the way they don't make cheese in Edom. But they do have a former cheese auction house where now they just sell cheese. Again out in the rain. It was a great trip and adventurous.
