I needed to buy some black socks, because two pairs that I brought with me were wearing out. Not sure if it is all the walking we are doing? You can imagine how excited I was when I found "Made in Italy" cotton socks at the outdoor market In Cascine Park, along the Arno river. I bought a package of four for only 7-1/2 euro, about $13. When I got home and looked at them closely, I started laughing and getting mad at myself. They were the right size, the right colour, but they were thin like panty hose, when stretched out over my foot. I call them "woman" socks, not man socks. Ridiculous...... Needless to say, today I am wearing two pairs on each foot, so you can't actually see skin through my socks.
