travel shopping

I feel like I'm dressing up to be another person with the travel shopping I've been doing. (Uh, did I mention this in a public post here? I'm going to Egypt with metaphorge and darkmoon and her family! Next week!)

I'm buying clothes I like, but mostly things I wouldn't buy under other circumstances - long sleeved loose cotton shirts, brown things, etc. I bought a white straw-style wide brim floppy hat, even (though I may take it back, still deciding). I bought pants that aren't jeans!

I'm going to feel a little colonial in my formal cotton women's wear. I shall make sure to tip the natives, request tea, and use words like "shall" on a regular basis.
