Religious pageantry now behind us, it's time for the Feria! Gatito has Wed-Friday off of school and before the beach on Thurs, we need to see what this is all about.
As Ms. Bell says...what makes grown women put on polka dots and ruffly dresses and parade around town accompanied by men with pants so tight they must unzip to sit...?
To help answer that question, I've invited two friends from Paris...so far we've had late nights, shopping days and I have 2 (not 1, but 2!) new pairs of Camper shoes..both fancy, high heels. As Alexandra said, "We NEED good shoes for our balance." Upon returning home and modeling these beauties, the Don kindly chose to remain mute rather than take the opportunity to remind me of the shitty exchange rate for the dollar.
So back to Feria, got the shoes, got the visitors, got temps in the high 70s, but it's sort of like a private party where people have "casitas" and you have to have an invitation to enter. This is where gatito comes in. We've got an invite from one of his school friends today, so tonight we'll be heading to the Feria at the outskirts of town and my biggest problem is that besides great shoes, I have NOTHING TO WEAR!!! (=?more shopping?)

But you couldn't really come home without at least one pair of campers, right? (per person, that is. When do Gatito and The Don get theirs?)
Happy shopping! I'm trying to remain sane for at least three more days. Then I'll let insanity take over. I need some new shoes and a dress too, for a fancy party. More on that later!
I heard about Camper shoes from a woman here, and I so wish I were with you to take advantage of the terrible exchange rate in Spain and to shop. For a fancy party or just because. Have fun!
