My trusty boots!
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.

I hope you enjoyed this stroll in My Boots.
This is the usual greeting I receive from friends and family who are never quite sure where I am or just where I have been. ¿Where the Heck are You? is a traveler's column. Come with me for a journey to foreign shores, tropical locales, and places you may not have even heard of. Along the way I will introduce you to people, their culture, art and cuisine, and together we will share an adventure.
