As a brief summary of what has been going on in my life: travel. I traveled from Hermosillo to Nashville. To Europe with my family. Back to Nashville. To Monterrey (where I was supposed to stay and be a teacher thered. However, they apparently needed me to return), to Hermosillo. Right now I am waiting for them to tell me when I am supposed to be going back to Monterrey. The original thought was less than a week from now. But they are still not sure.

Anyway, as is my custom with my hair, I usually let it grow fairly long and then get it cut fairly short. In this way I save money. I found another way to save money on haircuts. In downtown Hermosillo, there are places to get hair cut for 25 Pesos. Which is about $2.50 US. I was amazed that it could be so inexpensive, and it made me wonder about barbershops in America...

Usually when I go from long to short, people say I look older (probably they are thinking more mature). But this time I have had a lot of different reactions. One girl said that before I looked fun, and now I look like a serious teacher. Another said that I looked a lot younger now while a third stared at her as if she was crazy. One student was very disappointed to see first my mustache vanish and then all my hair. The principal, though he had never asked me to get a hair cut, said Thank you. Overall, I guess the cheapness of the price did not make it a terrible haircut (though probably my mom would think it is a good length, which means too long).
