                What a drag to have the shoes be so wrong for this incredible venture! What tradition and heritage! The landscape and sea are absolutely beautiful! You told the story so well, but I would not expect anything less! Do love the shoes though darlin' lol! Have a wonderful new year! More stories please! sam

                Fantastic post! I love it! And it's nice to see green, rather than dirty white snow, which is all we have...But those clogs? They look neat, but I wouldn't put them on to walk around the 
house (where I am always barefoot anyway, lol), let alone on a hike up a mountain...

                What a great post, KaBooM--photos, story, everything.
  I love those kind of shoes--except for having to walk fast, or to go down stairs.
  I always end up losing them when I do either.
