Well, in view of the fact that we'll be visiting Spain, I had considered practicing my infamous flamenco routine each morning at about 5:30. That certainly involves some heel pounding; but after visiting the Alhambra we might not be in Malaga long enough for me to find a pair of those cool flamenco boots (and it will be a Sunday, too - rats!!). The heel pounding just wouldn't be the same in my penny loafers.
