Purple Pursuit

As we mentioned earlier, Marcus was supposed to by her a lavender pashmina when he was in India on business in May.

At that time she didn’t have an inkling that she would be going there herself in August, so she gave Marcus strict instructions about what to buy. She even provided him with a printout of this picture -

Marcus hadn’t met us yet or seen our shade of lavender because we were still in Eilat when he left for India.

“Pink, lavender - what difference does it make?” or so he thought, and he bought her a lovely pink pashmina.

Here’s a photo of us with the pink pashmina.

What do you think?

We’re still neurotic about being left behind (here and here), but now we think that she’ll have to take us to India.

How else will she find us a perfect match?

She’s decided that she needs a pair of hiking sandals for the treks she thinks she’s going to go on in India.

She actually went to 5 different shoe stores tonight! She kept taking us on and off all evening, but the ones she wanted weren’t available in her size. She was quite puzzled about why the stores in this country only carry sturdy, supportive walking sandals for men.

She did find the sandals she wanted at a specialty hiking store, but they cost over 500 NIS. She’s only going to India for 2 weeks, so it seems a waste to spend that kind of money. She doesn’t need hiking sandals at home because she has us.

We know that long blog posts can be boring, but we just have to tell you about the saleswoman at Kol Naal Center: Tamar asked for hiking sandals, but the woman said they didn’t carry any for women and that Tamar should look around to see if there was a comfortable sandal that would do instead. Then the woman proceeded to make suggestions, but all the sandals she pointed out had chunky, high heels.
“I’m going mountain climbing!” Tamar kept insisting, but the salewoman obviously didn’t have a clue that you can’t climb mountains in heels.

We thought she wanted to replace us, a suspicion we already raised before, but in the end she didn’t buy any hiking sandals, and we went home with her. Thank goodness for clueless shoe saleswomen.

She can’t decide if she should subject us to the muck on the streets in India.

We’ll be devasted if she leaves us at home.
