Random Stuff :)

There are TONS of places here that will cut your hair :) Most of them are "haircutting salons" but every-once-in-a-while you'll see a "hair cutting saloon" - those crack me up... but this one in the pic below REALLY cracked me up... our friend Thomas that lives here sent us this picture and I just had to post it :) It's the "HARSH HAIRCUTTING SALOON" - hahaha!! Harsh is a very common name here... but when I think of harsh... well, that's definitely not a name I'd want to see when I'm about to get my hair cut :) - do you want a "harsh haircut?" haha!Today we were at a market getting some fruit and other fun stuff... and there were some guys doing some "construction" type work... This guy had a cool hat (the yellow one)... it's a regular construction hat, but has that round thing on top so that he can easily carry things on his head... I thought that was pretty cool :)
We also saw this guy at the same market... it was pretty hot out and he found a cool place to rest with his cart :) haha!
This pic (below) is a picture of our mailman's bike... when we get mail - letters or packages - we get it via this bicycle :) It's not a very good picture, but it's fun to see how the mail gets to where it's going :)

Ha! I thought of one thing when I saw that first pic- Dr. Harsh or was it Harsch? Oh well, random memories. Those pics are great! I love that hat! That would be so helpful here when Eden wants to be carried around and I need an extra hand or two!!

the hat looks like my mom's yellow collinder... not so much like a construction hard hat. Kinda funny.

Just as "jeremy's fam" wrote, I was going to say that man's hat looks like a collander we had once!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
