Thank you Kati, for hauling my shoes, sensible and not, across Europe. I wore my penny loafers today... ummm... surprising comfortable. It's that they are loosely tight, keeping the foot straight. OK arch too. And for me, so retro.

Thank you Tibi, for being by my side when we found out that my checked luggage would cost more than my ticket there and back! It was more than monopoly money.
