New Shoes!

I'm actually not feeling well today.  I woke up with a very sore throat, runny nose and achy body.  Unfortunately, I did have to go out a bit and on the way home, I stopped off at nearby mall to head to the drugstore to grab a couple of things that I am running low on and have a bite of lunch.

Since I was there, I also had a poke around a few of the stores to get a few small presents to bring home.  Since I happened to be walking by a shoe store,  it just seemed wrong not to go in. :)

For the most part, I'm not in love with the shoes here.  Most of them are slip ons and are like flip-flops; they have that thing that goes between the toes, which I always find kind of uncomfortable.  Everyone here wears them though and I've noticed that women actually have a little gap between their big and second toes from wearing them since they were small.

I did happen upon a nice pair of red shoes with an espadrille-type heel that fit like they were made for me.  I was just thoroughly pleased to find a pair of shoes in my size and then thrilled that they fit and were a good price--about 45 dollars.

I happily made my way  out the store and then happened by the sale rack and there was another pair--sort of a patent bronze.  Same brand, same size, so I had to try them on.  Also a perfect fit.  And the price made them worth while--399 rupees, so about 8 dollars.  Love it and love the shoes.
