This is too funny! What a great painting...as I can thoroughly relate! Although if it were a painting of me and my feet there would need to be a tube of my Topricin foot cream for sure. Ug. This stuff works great for sore feet- incase you need something for the rest of your trip. Thanks for sharing your journey.
