These feet were made for...

Dear my feet,

I have never appreciated you so much as I have on this trip. I have always thought you were a cute pair, but not always a practical pair. No arch support, too much running, too little stretching, too much frisbee, not the the right shoes... the list could go on and on. Although I thought long and hard in advance of this trip about how to deal with your sensitivity and propensity to act up while I am traveling, I was still very fearful. So fearful, in fact, that while packing foot wear I concentrated not on fashion, only on function... All for you.

I have to admit I am very impressed with your work so far. Today was the fourth straight day of climbing huge hills or walking up literally hundreds of stairs, not to mention the cobblestones in Prague that are really rough to walk on. Both this evening and this morning you ran for the tram- allowing us to catch it at the last possible second- without any trouble (and in sandals none the less). I can only guess the longer runs are good training or that I did indeed choose some of the "right" shoes to bring on this trip for you.

Thanks so much

Love, Me
