This afternoon, with my sister Donna, I visited the newest Afghan arrivals sponsored by the Jubilee Group here in Halifax. We spent a lovely hour engaged in conversation – I was trying to asses their English capabilities so I might know how to help them out. As Donna and I were leaving their downtown apartment (just off Gottingen Street), we saw these shoes just “standing” there.

How do you suppose they got there? Why would someone just step out of their shoes in the middle of the street? There is an intriguing story here, for sure.
