The Shoe Museum in Marikina City

Post date: 26-Jan-2010 04:30:50

I've always wanted to visit the shoe museum in Marikina City in the Philippines. Shortly before New Years, Glenda, Gleiza, Carol, Colin and I travelled almost 3 hours from Manila to Marikina City to see the shoe museum. Unfortunately, when we arrived they were closed. I was really disappointed. However, the security guard was still guarding the building and Glenda convinced him to let us tour the musuem. We paid the admission and got to go for a private tour. This would never happen in North America. It was so neat to see Imelda's shoes and shoes from all over the world.A few pictures from our private tour:The closet every girl dreams off.

They have my size.

You can't help but be happy when surrounded by that many

pairs of shoes.

After visiting the shoe museum, we went to Momma Chitta's for burgers. You can purchase the family size burger for $10.00 Canadian and it could definitely feed your entire family.
