Walking around Boston was when I fell in love with Crocs. I had just bought a pair of Crocs-clones ($3 at a dollar store!) and wore them, carrying my usual sandals in my backpack as backup, just in case my feet began to hurt from the new footwear.
I wasn’t looking for somewhere to move to; I hadn’t any intentions of leaving New York City. I just wanted to visit the site of Expo’67. Many of the exhibits were still up and running when I got there in late summer 1968, but it closed after Labour Day, leaving me several days of vacation to roam the city. THAT was the beginning of my vague idea of moving here. A return visit in January 1969 solidified the idea. It took another eighteen months for all the paperwork - company transfer and government visa - but I’ve been here since August 1970.
Oh! I’d love to ride my bike across that: The Long Bridge - The Bridge to Sandpoint | Spokane Historical

Love my CROCS! I've got 6-7 pairs in bright colors. The toe box is oversized so my toes have wiggle room. I can be on my feet and in them all day without feet or ankles or legs getting tired. I wish I had known about them years ago. This year I bought two pair that are fuzzy lined and boy, does that help keep me warm on snowy and bitter cold days.
I promised myself, when I moved here almost 20 years ago, that if ever I could drive over the long bridge without admiiring its beauty I would have to move - I wouldn't deserve to live here. Of course if the weather and the roads are bad or if traffic is squirrely, I pay absolute attention to driving, but whenever I can, I look.
Sadly, I haven’t been able to get the bright colours that are available in women’s and children’s sizes. I’m stuck with men’s size 12, and the brightest I’ve found is red. The others are olive-drab, white, grey, and black. However, my feet can’t see colours; they only care for comfort!!!
You have the perfect attitude!!!
If you go to the CROCS website you can find mens size 12 CROCS in hot pink, aqua, jade, and a bunch of other colors. Some are lined. My guy has two pair of lined, size 13, in navy. They are about $60 US, but worth it I think.Sadly, I haven’t been able to get the bright colours that are available in women’s and children’s sizes.

Thanks for posting that link. There is a lot of natural beauty in my area. Tiny little town with not many people living in it, but we are surrounded by nature. And a ton of hiking trails.
Our son and his family lived in Chicago for a few years so we visited a number of times. The Architectural Centre's Boat Tour was wonderful. We also enjoyed visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's home. Chicago is a vibrant and fun city to visit.
Google let me change it to English. Interesting! Hmm, wonder if the default is French, will have to click my own link and see.Montreal has some caves, but I never remember them in the heat of summer. Maybe this year?
Hmm … dumb to only have information in French!
