Damaged toes

Managed to really do a job on my feet. On my good right foot, 2nd toe I peeled off a blister on the second day, the third day I created another blister under that location. On my bad left foot the velcro straps can't be tightened enough to stop the foot from sliding into the toe cavity while walking, and the toenail was too long. Going downhill makes it much worse and nothing where we were was level. By the second day I had black and blue bruising under the big toenail. On the 23,000 walking day in Rome I got back to the ship and discovered that my big toenail had detached from the nail bed. Pedicures are going to be in my future from now on.  I didn't let the fairly constant pain stop me from enjoying myself.
