Happy opening day. Go Red Sox!
Over the past few weeks, since I saw a
Red Sox shirt here in Nyanza, I've seen a number of shirts and hats from MLB teams and decided to keep track of which teams I've spotted. I'll be doing this with all four professional American leagues, so we'll see which league is the fastest for me to complete.

I bought these flip-flops 5 years ago in Ghana for about $.60. With the exception of that time I got off an overnight train from the beach and forgot to change into better urban-exploring shoes and they blistered the soles of my feet (over an inch in diameter) while wandering Bucharest, they could not have served me better. I was pretty bummed when one broke a few months ago, but I finally got around to taking them to the shoe repairman who sits under an umbrella at the end of my street - the one who wears a Red Sox World Series shirt. For a whopping $.15 he repaired them, and let me take pictures!
