We managed to get out of the apartment before siesta today. Oh, frabjous day! And, after a delicious pastry and the ubiquitous Coca Cola, we bumbled around until we found the central street of shops and the shoe store we saw yesterday. We were both in need of shoes. With all this walking, we still…
We were both in need of shoes. With all this walking, we still haven’t found quite the right pairs of shoes. Those thong sandals that I purchased to help one foot heal worked; my right foot is much improved. But, they caused a problem and blister for the other foot. So, here is my new selection and they seem to be comfortable from the get go. Nike running shoes (no, Mom, I couldn’t find a decent New Balance in the whole of Rota, but these are just nice comfy/stretchy cloth on a running shoe sole that I think will support my extra wide monkey-toes). For certain, they will give my left foot a chance to heal – the huge blister from the thong on the sandals and the joint at the base of the large toe that I tripped and jammed a couple weeks ago in Cadiz. The shoes are basic black and suitable for all/most occasions – and they are light for packing. Win-win!
