Gouda, Netherlands

Gouda Cheese Market

I'm enjoying my summer vacation with some local travels.  I took my first visit to Gouda on a Thursday when they hold their cheese market.  It's very surreal to see thier old-fashioned way of bargaining a price for the cheese.  Despite the tourists, the town still feels slow and quiet.
