Get henna

On our day of respite, our female team members are favored with a relaxing morning of receiving intricate henna designs on their feet, ankles and hands, courtesy of some local artists. While the careful designing goes on, a friend of our hosts prepares a feast of rice and vegetables, a traditional dish most of us eat with our hands. It is delightful and delicious. Once the women are finished, our team's young man receives his henna designs on each shoulder. Careful, a young man sporting henna is announcing his intention to get married!
