Seriously. While my feet admittedly may not be runway model-worthy, I just don't feel comfortable wearing sandals. But, boy, with the heat during that time in Egypt, I had no problem changing my mind.

Now, if only MINE had been GOLD & Papyrus, but alas.

Ahh, King Tut. The boy king who continues to yield more secrets.
