He knows how to shop
I have learned a valuable lesson. When shopping, always listen to that little voice that speaks to us all from time to time...our shopping conscience. While some may brush it off as "buyer's remorse," I believe that it may just be God trying to point you in the direction of a better deal. I spent an evening shopping the Haupstrasse (the main shopping street in Heidelburg). I was in search of a light pair of pants for the warming weather. I thought I had found the perfect pair. "Ah, the feel of linen," I thought. Sure, they were a few inches too long and not quite the right color....but, hey, they were on sale! Long story short, I walked into another store and found shorter, darker, better cut linen pants for $15 less than the ones I just bought. I was banging my head against the changing room divider wondering, "why didn't I listen to that still, small, shopping voice?!" Oh, well. What's the German translation for, "found a better deal elsewhere?"

I hate to state the obvious, but can't you just return the first pair of pants!?
Ah! Excellent. Then I hope you got the second pair, and are ultimately pleased with your purchase. BTW, your photos are totally gorgeous.
OH MY GOODNESS!! I can't believe you're in my home town!! I could imagine you walking down the Haupstrasse, going through all the shops I used to browse through, listening to the crazy music that all the stores played. Justin Waite just stopped by with his dad yesterday on their way back from CA to Pullman and he gave me your blog address!! I'm so happy to be back in touch with you. Please let me know what you are doing there and what you've been up to!! love you!!
You could return them?? Wow, lucky. I was expecting you would not be able to. In Italy they'd think you were nuts if you asked to return something. :) Good for you. love you.
I miss you
