Today I ventured into town to buy some postcards to send to my sisters, my parents, and my fella back in the States. I also called to Italy to make sure that everything was ready to go with my reservation at the hotel that my parents recommended and helped me with called Hotel Columbus. Thank you Mommy and Daddy! On the way back home I stopped at my favorite jewelry store and was reminded once again when the clerk rang it all up that the Euro is stronger than the dollar. Oh well, it's my favorite store and they always have such cute stuff! After another wonderful lunch, I went with Paquita and Elias to look for some shoes for Paquita to wear to a wedding this weekend. For those of you who are questioning whether universal healthcare is the right answer for the US, here's a personal experience for you to ponder. Paquita had some painful issues with her left foot and needed surgery. Since Spain has a socialized healthcare program, she did not have to pay for the surgery when she went in. But she did have to wait about 6 months to have the surgery which meant that she was in pain almost every day for 6 months. Now, she still has issues and needed some more comfortable shoes to go with the dress she was going to wear to the wedding, which is why we went looking for some. After looking at many stores, we didn't find anything that would really work. Luckily, they have a friend that owns a shoe store who is going to keep an eye out for some comfortable shoes.
On another note, my fella is home from his trip to Mexico and on his way to pick up our doggies from my parent's house in the San Luis Valley and I'm praying that it's a safe trip for all three of them! Thanks Mom and Dad, again, for taking such great care of them!
