Fatboys and Hair Cuts

As many people have commented I needed a hair cut.  I don't know why but I put getting a hair cut up there with going to the dentist, I just don't enjoy it. It is not that I am overly attached to my hair, just I never feel like I look good with a hair cut, and I hate the business of making an appointment and the useless small talk.  Since I have been here there is no place to get your hair cut, unless you want it just shaved off, and even then you have to find one of the few people that have trimmers.

I started asking guests and the medical students that come if they can cut hair, I finally found one!  So yesterday I got my hair cut, and I must say at a rather relaxing salon.  The Sunday tradition here is to go to a resort called Fatboys for lunch.  If we don't have to work everyone goes out in the mornings and relaxes on the dock, swims, and eats a big lunch.  Fatboys is a large grass roof pavilion built over the water, right next to a reef and has "Gin Clear Water". 

So we set out yesterday wish scissors and shampoo.  I went for a swim then grabbed a bar stool, and a bikini clad hair stylist and got my hair cut!  Afterwards everyone enjoyed lunch and headed back to Gizo.  I didn't drink, because I was driving the boat, but enjoyed quite a few cokes, which is a rare thing here.  I didn't even hit a reef on the way home, which is always a positive, I have a 100% safe driving record here so far (knock on wood) and have avoided the many unmarked reefs.
