Souvenir Photo from Volendam

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of making friends with the locals (travelers photographed with people from the indigenous population).

English-language sign on one of the buildings in the background: "Here you can have your photo taken in Volendam costume."

The members of a Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) tour group (notice the men's overseas caps) pose with three young girls who are wearing the traditional clothing of Volendam, a town in the Netherlands (mouse over the image above for a close-up of the girls and part of the group).

For another example of a tourist posing with the locals, see Amish Folks at Dutch Wonderland, Lancaster, Pa.
