You should have been here when the $ was worth .76!!<BR/><BR/>UA: and this time the exchange rate was better at 2.20 instead of 2.65. I gave up translating.<BR/><BR/>Katie: I'm sure you do feel the pinch. Go to France, I kept hearing!!<BR/><BR/>LGS: I had a wonderful, relaxing time. And these were even better than running shoes for walking. And they went well with jeans, or a skirt.<BR/><BR/>Ruth: No, the strappy things were worn only once. These NAOTS are for life.<BR/><BR/>MA: I loved trying out the different flavours of chips (crisps) and yoghourts - I bought one of everything!

Shrimp Thai salad, oh yum. I know what you mean about shopping in other countries. Just the novelty of it makes it appealing. And when you're on vacation you feel you have a right to buy something. I don't like shopping here either! Oh gee, we have a lot in common, eh?<BR/><BR/>Those Naots look super comfy. How 'bout the strappy ones - comfy? Hmm, maybe not.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-3303509829051892362008-09-02T12:23:00.000-04:002008-09-02T12:23:00.000-04:00Glad you are back and appear to have had a good va...Glad you are back and appear to have had a good vacation.

I always do that when I head over there. Translate in my head and go ohhhh no, ain't paying that! <BR/><BR/>I'm like you, I love to shop when I'm travelling. Looove to look at stuff, prices, styles. I remember Marks & Spencer, their stuff was so good. And they closed all their stores in Canada years ago *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Glad you found comfy shoes.
