These Boots Were Made For Walking

My trusty boots!


... these boots were

made for walking!!!


Bought in Rimini Italia for 200,000 lira, they are now six years old and have been around the world.

They have been laced up in 34 countries ... and unlaced at dozens of airport security checkpoints. They have been on trains, planes, and automobiles ... and subways, trams, boats, and even an elephant.

They have been on top of the active Sicilian volcano Mountt Ætna, and crossed the extinct cone of Te Rua Manga on Rarotonga.

They have hiked in the Alps and the Pyrenees, the Rocky Mountains and Sierras.

Mountains, vales and lakes from halfway up Mt Pilatus - Luzern Switzerland

They have tread the Spanish Steps, and have been thrown out of St Peter's, yet have been welcomed in and on countless temples in Asia and Latin America.

Lined with Thinsulate®, they are warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and also with Gore-Tex® that keeps my feet dry and happy!

They are light, but sturdy, and have been sure footed support for many of my journeys.

Priceless!

The above journey took me literally 'round the
world. It was a "solo" journey; except for 3 arrivals
no one was expecting me along the way (friends
made while in the South Pacific I then visited in
their home countries when I got to Europe) and
I didn't know anyone until I got there; only three
of the countries were English speaking; I rarely
had a room reservation; my budget was $30/day.Sydney Opera House

Given the chance, would you,
could you, make the journey?
