Well, enough of this string thing. I’m taking a break to recover…
Plus Mya’s mama sent this amazing story of the Blade Runners of Madagascar and I am now transfixed by THEM and their extraordinary paws and athletic agility!
Do you think they feel anything through those incredible pads?
Mama told me that once she walked up the sides of Vesuvius in Naples, and, typical of mama, she had on her favorite Italian boots, thinking they were perfect for the stroll. Bad call, mama.
Poor boots, shredded by lava on a half-hour walk! She would have done much better being a Sifaka, haha!
At least there were fettucine ai funghi (mushrooms ) when she, papa and her two stepkids descended, and a glass of nice white vino… to cry into.
That must have been quite the hike! Too bad your mama’s boots paid the price though.
Yes, and they were her favorite boots of all time! Next time she’ll have on sturdy shoes.!
Uhoh…..hiking needs super comfy and secure boots and not the pretty ones. Hiking up a mountain in Italian boots might not have been the best idea but I bet she will never forget that walk !!!! HAHA
Hugs, Teddy
Oh, and mama says you should have seen those boots….
Wow, I could use those mad climbing skills, Loulou. They’re too sweet! Sorry about your mama’s shoes – yikes!
Yes, aren’t those lemurs really amazing? And very tame, they say.
Oh they were so cute, couldn’t NOT send!! But your Mamma’s poor boots – I’ve never even seen a site like this – but the monkeys are totally adapted (unlike your Mamma’s boots, teehee).
And oh how she misses those boots!
We are sorry about your Mom’s boots, we are wondering what the proper footwear would be? Mom would like to go see lave in person one day, but she doesn’t want to lose her shoes.
Mama says a good pair of hiking shoes should do it with strong soles and a lot of people were in tennis shoes but they must’ve been really good sole shoes!
I bet that mushroom meal was tasty. My hubby and I are obsessed with mushrooms lately. I just order him a kit to grow oyster ones.
Those are delicious but if you could find a log of a certain wood that propagates the field mushrooms they grow well on that. Mama’s neighbor gives us mushrooms from his log in his garden. Also safe!Mama will find out the name and send it. They are the best mushrooms we’ve ever had even better than porcini!
Besides the sharpness of lava rock, we would think fashionable boots would be an awful choice to go for a long hike in – Mama is lucky her feet weren’t shredded !
Amazing video ! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks to Mya’s mama and neighbor, and yes mama was a little bit nuts but didn’t have any other shoes.
