I have a tendency to get really attached to the shoes I wear while traveling. They become my friends, and considering how much I tend to walk while touristing, they really are patient and generous friends. so I just want to take this opportunity to thank the shoes that took me from Edmonton, Alberta, to Phoenix, Arizona.
The new acquaintance, bought just before I left Stockholm. There’s no denying it, comfortable and sturdy Gore-Tex shoes are the best thing to have as a backpacker. I’ll never forget that.
I think this was the last trip these pretty little white shoes did. They’ve taken me through many a warm Stockhom summer’s day. They’ve climbed the hills of La Paz with me, and now they took me all around California. It’s time for them to retire.
