A shoe story

This post is dedicated to Sopan and Priya, who have patiently waited for the World Cup to be over so that they could hear more news about their nephew Fabi, whom they like to call 'Golu'.

Fabi came to Costa Rica with these shoes:

Unfortunately, one shoe fell off and it got lost in a taxi cab. Unlike in Mumbai, here in Heredia it's a good idea to wear shoes all the time (because the floor can get really chilly). So Fabi got these 'house shoes', which he wore all the time.

To replace the pair of shoes to be worn outdoors, we went shopping again. We went to a shopping center which is located relatively close to our house, called Real Cariari and found the cutest pair of shoes I could possibly want for Fabi. They're a classic design, in my favorite color (blue) and they're easy to put on and off (the laces are just for show, each shoe opens with a small zipper on the side). And! The shoes have a football motif. They're definitely not soccer shoes, but knowing how much Fabi likes to play with balls and that the soccer fever is still lingering in the air...I think these shoes are a perfect fit!



Oh!...and in a completely unrelated note....Fabi's new favorite vegetable is the tomato!
