I remember as a kid I only wore shoes when I had to. Its a shame we lose that freedom as adults, for some reason we just don't go barefoot anymore. Until the last few days I didn't know just how important it was. The freedom I feel now while barefooting is amazing, brings back memories of childhood, its wonderful and makes me tingle all over.
Thanks for the tip on eye cups. I found them at Mountain Rose, they look like glass but it seems like rubber ones would have a better snugness. I'll check out eBay.
