New Shoes

From this post on quality of the photos will be noticeably lower. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The boys are low on resources and their camera consumes more energy than their cellular. While they don't have money to buy new batteries and don't have a chance to refill their depleted ones every once in a while, they take pictures with the mobile.

We've been waiting so long for our new shoes. We waited in Playa del Carmen, where we found out that there was a misunderstanding about the date of posting the pack. We waited in Tulum, more than ten days. Postal Service told us that it takes eight days to deliver a package from the U.S. to Mexico. After twelve days we gave up, thought that someone on the Mexican Customs has two pairs of new shoes. When the pack finally arrived we were in Chetumal. But with some help they ended up in our hands and on our feet. :)


So this is a thank you paragraph: we'd like to thank to Clover Coyner at the Nike Corp. who thought that he would support us with these shoes. We'd like to thank to Kurt Caswell, great friend, writer and university prof. for packaging and sending the shoes. We'd like to thank to a tolerant and persistent Hungarian lady from Playa del Carmen, Anita Landauer, who was there to receive the pack and then delivered it into our hands.

We like our new shoes. First we found it a bit worrisome walking with vivid colors (silver, green, blue) on our feet, we'd been heading for Belize, after all, where many don't have the means to buy shoes, but many have guns. Then the dust of the road took away our worries. Now our new blisters are gone, we're on.
