my feet
instead of bringing my tennis shoes to berlin, i brought a pair of not-quite-broken in riding boots, and my favourite purple high-heeled shoes. before i left, the tendon in my right foot was really hurting, and i thought perhaps it was from six days a week on the treadmill with my broke-down tennies. also, my riding boots are WAY cuter than my sneaks.
i was entirely unprepared for the amount of walking i would be doing in berlin. on the plus side, my riding boots are now completely broken in, and i have increased my threshold for pain.
