Clog Painting at the Bata Shoe Museum

Before becoming a father, I never really gave much thought to family traditions, perhaps in part because the ones I grew up with sometimes appeared to be disconnected from the culture outside our home at the time. Since Oliver’s birth, however, Mimi and I have often talked about what aspects of our respective backgrounds we would like to pass on to him to give him a sense of his cultural heritage.
