a word to the wise

shoes like these

will not do for your first night out in france. you may reason that you are 5’1″ and a 4-inch heel really isn’t that high. thankfully, i am here to inform you that you will instead have trouble walking, wake up with blisters, and spend the rest of the day cursing yourself for not knowing that the chosen bar was a 25 minute walk (one way) from your house.
ahhh, you live and you learn.
