Today was the last day we will have, until the day before we leave, that was completely unstructured, where we could hang out with our homestay families and not have to go to class. My mama decided that today was henna day, and prepared two types of henna. Women here use henna to dye their fingernails, as well as make patterns on their skin. The base henna is a light brown, and the second henna you apply is orange, going to almost black the more times you apply it and let it dry on your skin. My mama dyed the tips of my fingers on one hand, and then I decorated my palm.
My mama also made me pinky swear that I would come back to the village to visit. Now that's a promise I can't break now. :)
My fellow trainees and I got cold soda today, then tried to find certain people to interview for a report we have to write, but none of them were to be found.
A lazy day. Laundry, henna, cold soda, a tiny cloud rainbow, one of the coolest I've seen.
My toad friend is back! I thought my cats might have eaten him. But no, he's here. :)
