Today Kari and I had a girls’ day to get Henna tattoos for our trip to Saint Louis later this week. We looked through a couple books of designs before we picked what we wanted. Some of the designs were pretty intricate, but they did it all by free-hand. It was pretty impressive! They drew it on the first time, let it dry, then went back over it for a second coat, then let it dry again. After that they washed it with soap and water (which means I got my feet washed too!!!). Basically I got a Senegalese pedicure. As we were leaving, they guy who gave me my tattoo told us he needed a second wife; thus, I received my 3rd marriage proposal. Some boys also blew kisses at me as we drove by them in our taxi.

Enjoying getting my feet washed :)
I saw something else that was interesting today—a guy carrying 5 foam mattresses on his head! That must not have been the first time he’s done that because he actually walked past before I could get a picture. But don’t worry, I will find another “mattress vendor” and get a picture.
Beautiful! Have a great trip!
