Don't Step on my New Red Shoes!

Yes, I went shopping in Prague.
Promod is actually a French store.  It's one of my very favorite shops.  I had to find a pair of comfortable flats because I've been doing so much walking while here in Prague and I did not bring sensible shoes.  In fact, I spent my first two days in bandaids. Lucky me,  I found a pair of very cute shoes right away.
Amy from Minnesota would be proud!  She's an expert on cute shoes.  (Bonjour, Amy!)

I've fallen in love with my new red shoes!  Patent leather.  Perky black bows.  Flats.  Great for walking.  How could I not love them!?  Here they are in the hotel room, taking a petit rest.
Here they are on the Prague metro elevator.  The metro elevators are crazy fast very and very steep!  I have to hold on tight.  It took me several times to get used to them.
Now they're on their way to the Goldschmidt Conference to listen to scientists from all over the world talk about climate change.  These are very socially conscience red shoes!
Go green!
All the sidewalks here are made from very unique stonework.  Each stone is handmade and placed in an intricate pattern.  Nothing is machine made.  It's all very artistic and unique to Prague.  And so pretty.
And Prague has some very special manhole covers too.
And indoors, there's lovely tile work.
After all this walking, I think it's time for me to put my feet up and read a good book--
at The Globe Bookstore--because that's where all the cool expats hang out!
Au revoir for now!

  4. Bonjour, Jamie, from "Amy in Minnesota" - and bonjour cute shoes! The bows are absolutely adorable...you did make me proud with your selection!

    I think it should be your goal, from now on, to buy a pair of red shoes whenever you travel. You already have the pair from the market in Valence d'Agen and now this pair of beauties...you're well on your way!

  6. The shoes are lovely, but I have to admit, they make my toes hurt just looking at them! By the way I'm reading your book on Kindle at the moment and really enjoying it.
