Davos cont.

Thursday, January 26
Proper footwear in Davos is almost as important as access to world leaders.  Everyone’s registration bag includes these clever walking crampons, as most sidewalks will be covered in snow and ice until spring. 
So, you can imagine my surprise when at a street crossing I encounter a lovely woman in 5-inch heels.  I blurted out, ‘you’re brave’ and she proudly points out that her shoes were actually designed to be worn in the snow and have rubber soles – who knew?
We not only ended up at the same Cancer dinner/discussion event, but are seated together.  Lucy Doughty heads her family foundation which builds pediatric cancer centers in the Dominican Republic and Great Britain.

After our dinner Mehmet Oz, Francis and David Agus deciding who’s going to lead the dance.
I walk home very happily in my crampons.

  1. Now this is interesting - so are the crampons a keeper or do you have to give them back and if not for those warm weather people in Davos who might want to recycle - can you just take theirs - they won't need it in their sunny/hot "homeland" and share with your sisters back here in the US? And rubber soled 5 inch heels for the snow - they should not be made for the sun and sand! Looking forward to details on the revolution...
