The shoes turned out great! I did get blisters but much to the joy of all the others, they didn't hurt. I didn't notice them until I ripped my shoes off at the end of the walk!
I tried out my new walking stick. I can't really figure out what to do it with it?! Mostly I just carried the extra weight around (oops, did "I" say it carried it around?!) In the last 40 minutes, I discovered it is quite helpful on steep descents with uneven terrain. I'm sure it saved me from a twisted ankle or two so I guess it was useful after all.
Definitely need to find some trousers that fit... I managed to tear a hole in my trousers today in an attempt to stretch my legs. The worst part - I didn't even manage to get the full stretch! I could also confidently say that "dry fit" is worth whatever money they charge for it. I will surely be investing!!! On a hot humid day, they are worth my weight in gold.
Last, but certainly not least, I need a new back pack. I'll have to get one of those high tech packs with a camel bag (lugging bottles of water around is so passe). They also make them so they do not rest on your back - I can imagine the fresh air would be very very pleasant in comparison to my sweaty bag and back.
Off to the shops then...
