Cornelius and Marie arrived at 10:30 to take us to get haircuts and go to the local weekly market. We went to the home of the hairdresser and she spoke perfect English. She had immigrated to the US over 40 years ago and became a citizen. She went to hair dresser school and worked at that for many years. Then she moved to Las Vegas and became a money person in a casino. She developed arthritis in her hands and could not do hair all the time. Eventually the hotel she worked for was torn down and she decided to retire in Mexico to be near her mother and sister. I am never immediately satisfied with a hair cut. I always expect that a new hair cut will make me younger, 100 pounds lighter and beautiful. I guess I got my
$3.00’s worth.
After the hair dresser we all walked through the street market. Steve bought two SOS pads and I bought nothing. Marie kept trying to get me to notice things but I was overwhelmed by so much stuff in such a small space. Then the four
of us drove to the next little town south for lunch and sightseeing. We could have walked the mile down the beach but didn’t. I had a Mexican variation of a chef’s salad which was just right. We walked quite a ways, looked in shops, and watched a Marachi band playing under a huge and old tree. There is not much here to buy. Correction--that I want to buy. We had lots of laughs and enjoyed the day with new friends. Nap time then off to the computer store to use the internet.
