I have a love/date relationship with my Dansko clogs. I love them because they are so comfortable but I hate them because they conspire against me to humiliate me whenever possible, it has nothing to do with me;) The very first day I wore them I fell flat on my face walking down Newbury Street in Boston and today was just as bad. We arrived at JFK and we stopped at the restroom on the way to the Crown Room, as I was exiting the restroom there was a small rise in the floor and I tripped/lost my balance and went flying and landed hard on my knees and wrists. According to Brendan who was waiting for me across the walkway, it was anything but graceful! Of course I was carrying two bags, which also went flying. All these people came running to help me…it was quite embarrassing. Luckily there was no major damage to me or my equipment, although one of my knees is quite sore, but I’ll survive.
Hanging out in the Crown Room…

Our plane getting prepped for the flight…

Checking email

Watching the planes land. I thought this was a cool picture because you can see my reflection in the mirror.

Next time I’ll be posting from Bucharest!

I am right there with you… I trip in my clogs all the time (and was even asked if I was gay at a wedding because of the shoes I had on!). But, there’s nothing like it for being on your feet for hours at a time lugging camera gear. So glad you’re ok and surviving your long layover ok!

I’m glad I’m not the only one!
