Nice little travelogue.
Flip flops are nice for the summer when one wants to show off their fresh pedicure. But MUCH more than that, I like them for convenience of just slipping on and going as I am ALWAYS running by the skin of my teeth. There’s no need for socks; although, I have done that with them and had my feet looking like a camel’s toe or a geisha girl’s feet and totally embarrassed my daughter. But what are mom’s for? And flip-flops don’t have to be plain and ugly. Some of mine have sparkles and rhinestones on them. :)
I live in flip flops and UGGS when its too cold for flip flops. I usually buy Havaianas and have many different gorgous styles. Haven’t worn a real pair of shoes in many years. Both are just too easy.
