Oh, don't apologize! I'm a master of late replies. I'm glad you traveled, I'll read your post soon where you tell me about it.
I don't wear sandals just to the beach, I wear them all summer long. I have problems with my wife when I have to go to visit, to the theater or the opera...
Thank you very much, @mipiano, for the wishes, it's so nice to receive them and to hope that maybe something, something will come true!
