Sooo we didn't follow any of our previous plans, basically,
so that was fun. We were also supposed to have a member accompany us, but that
didn't work out, either. At least it didn't rain too much on us this afternoon,
or it would have been a total chick-flick movie day. Had some lessons, met some
more people who were not interested in anything, and hiked around all over
creation.
This morning as we were getting ready for this blessed day,
Hna Escobar taught me how to curl my eyelashes with a shppoon (I know I spelled
that wrong, but it made me laugh, so I'll keep it in as it is, the correct
spelling is indeed "spoon") so that was fun to try out. It's the same
principle as when you curl ribbon with scissors. You hold the edge of a metal
spoon against the base of your eyelashes on the upper side of the upper eyelid,
with the pad of your thumb on the underside. Grasp the eyelashes between the
spoon and thumb, and slide the spoon along the eyelash while keeping contact
with your thumb. Results in a more rounded curl than with an eyelash curler,
and seems to last longer as well, so that was really cool to learn!
I also gave Hna Escobar a haircut, or rather trimmed up her
ends as they were all dry and she didn't like them. So that was another first,
and I'm proud to say that it turned out quite well. After spending years
watching your hair being cut, you tend to pick up on at least the basics of
trimming. So once you get in the groove it actually goes along very smoothly.
Part, cut, trim, layer, part, cut, trim, layer...
And I saw my car! Well, it was a car of the same make and
model as mine, but a dark steel color, not my light silver, and obviously the
plates are different and there is no reason why my car would be in Honduras .
But that made me really excited to see something so similar from home. I miss
driving on real roads.
We are also in the time of oranges, so we ate a lot of
oranges today! They're really good, much
better than they ones we have back home. Super juicy, and sweet even though the
peels are mostly green.
