Postcard from S

I emailed S asking how her knees are doing. For her birthday she ordered some groovy Converse from Zappo's to take on the trip... Converse is the only brand of "practical shoe that she will wear... with insole to help the patellofemoral situation... This is what she wrote:

my knees hurt a little on the great wall (i wonder why?) but i took Excedrin and they felt much better. they haven't hurt much otherwise. i even took the stairs up 26 floors today without a problem :) and ive been wearing my insoles everyday except my birthday. i wore sandals that day. and i think i should have packed an extra two rolls of duck tape and toilet paper. that stuff came in handy. and ill keep my eyes out. should i send postcards from here? we just got some. and everyone LOVES the sketchbook that you sent with me :) i wish i had brought more art supplies tho. OH! and you would have LOVED this place we went today. i took lots of pictures and was thinking about you the whole time. its a whole district where you can rent a space and display your art or work or whatever and people will love it. guarantee. everyone loved the graffiti. it was just such a cool place. and you can buy stuff. and there are streets and streets filled with galleries. you would have been in heaven.
