First London barefoot walk

Heya hey my dear readers,

I'm back to share with you more adventures, more trips, more stories of 2011  - of course everything strictly NO SHOES related! ;))

There are also some upcoming news like the blog name changement, but it'll take some time - stay tuned!

Well, so what's going on? We've just come back from London!
A wonderful city deserves some wonderful no shoes teasing! Well, actually that wasn't my point, I just felt like finaly trying to hit the road barefoot, for the first time in this 2011 spring.. and it was a success!


London, Trafalgar Square, early spring afternoon.
The sun was shining and I could finally take off my shoes, what a relief!
A few minutes later I stopped by to see some street performer (he wasn't particulary good, but quite funny). A young English man standing next to me was probably deeply impressed to see me - a question came almost immediately:
"What happened with your shoes?!?" 
"Aaaah, they are over there, I'm just relaxing my feet a bit. :)"
"That's a strange way to relax!!" 
(Maybe I should add a little description so you can picture the situation: he was well dressed, as almost every English man, including apparently pretty expensive very shining brown leather shoes. I'd say from the latest fashion collection, but I can not be sure (since I don't care about either shoes or fashion).
"Actually it's very pleasant, really!"
Suspicious, but interested look. I've probably "inserted a bug to his head", as we Czechs say.
"Where are you from by the way?"
"Czech republic."
"Oh." 
And that was the end of our "very sophisticated" conversation.
I'm quite sure I turned his way of thinking upside down... or maybe he just thought I went completely crazy, who knows.
I continued watching the performance and when I turned he was gone. He didn't even say goodbye! And I thought English men are well educated... Maybe this rule doesn't apply to barefoot people, hahaha! :)

What about your first spring walks? Any interesting stories?
Feel free to comment and don't forget to enjoy your life barefooting! :)
