Thanks for this blog and to Julie Fraga for putting it on the PEACE newsletter. I have been buying shoes on the island for a girl with a limp. I go to the zapateria in the Canatol Mercado, buy a 500 peso "gift certificate" in her name (a nota) and she comes and picks out those and then the vendor hands them over to the shoemaker to put a platform sole on her short leg's shoe. Buy local! You are, bless you. Zina
