Hand to foot existence. 12 December, 2012.

It was nice to get into our hotel in Madrid: with it's real wood floors.  Almost 2 months of Andalucían tile floors, icy cold in winter, meant I was barefoot only in the shower.  Shocking to once again see toes as I walked across the room. My connection with gravity was a little interrupted -- slightly harder to get my bearings.  I do miss the home wood floors and my home yoga mat when I travel.
