What Do You Do When You lose a Shoe on the Way to a Stevie Wonder Concert?

Short version of the story - you freak out and then go buy a new pair of shoes.

Longer version of the story: I set out for London early yesterday before the Stevie Wonder concert. I had a full schedule of window shopping and cafe sitting planned before meeting up with Margaret. I was happily making my way on the tube when disaster struck. As I was exiting the tube a clueless man stepped on my foot causing my shoe to fly off while 50 other passengers were also making their exit. As I managed to partially get hold of the shoe again, clueless man number 2 proceeded to kick my shoe again and it tumbled right into the famous "gap" leaving me with 1 shoe, 2 feet and standing in a dirty subway station. I swear is happened in slow motion as I watched my poor sneaker tumble to its death. Both men just looked at me and kept walking saying nothing. I can assure you I said a whole lot and loudly. If I wasn't already exiting the station I am sure the London Transit official standing there had his own plans to remove me. My favorite part was two other men who just started pointing and laughing at me. I love people. Their karma is certainly out of wack now. Luckily someone was watching over me because I threw a pair of flip flops in my bag as I was leaving the apartment yesterday so I was able to quickly change and continue on my way. Also, my keen sense of fashion direction pointed me toward the nearest H&M so I could replace my cheap pair of canvas sneakers. RIP cheap canvas sneaker - I am sorry I had to leave you behind at the South Kensington tube stop and our time together was cut short.

Next time anyone wonders why I carry giant handbags and what I am carrying, I would say it is safe to assume a spare shoe.

The drama of the morning did not ruin the rest of the day. The concert was a lot of fun and Stevie Wonder put on an amazing show! England is having proper summer weather right now (nothing compared to Philly of course), so I melted in the sun through most of the performances, but it was a great show and day in the park.

Time to get ready for another week as another weekend winds down. Hoping to get all of my pictures together finally. Stay tuned for the link for your viewing pleasure.
