So, we are heading to Mexico shortly. Specifically flying into Monterrey to climb nearby. Unfortunately this area has been troubled with DTO (drug trafficking organizations) and the violence that accompanies them.
On one hand, I know our chances of being bothered are as close to zero as they can be. On the other hand, I think it best to not draw any attention to ourselves while we are there.
One thing I've learned from traveling to countries south of the USA is that blond hair can sometimes draw a lot of attention. So, I thought I'd put some temporary color in so I blend better while we are there. It would serve a functional purpose and given it's temporary, it might be fun.How bad could it be?
Actually, it wasn't too bad. Only a few casualties resulted as Henri observed while he hung out in the peanut gallery. Two casualties were the bathroom doors. How I got the hair color on those white doors is a mystery. No denying I did that though as they are not 100% white anymore (note to self - touch up needed).
The only other "casualty" was realizing I have more hair than one box of color can handle. So, if you look closely, you'll see a bit of horizontal zebra striping. :) Doh!
In the end, I don't hate it. Maybe it even looks good. Not sure as it is still too shocking for me and I already miss my skunk streak. The goal was achieved though. This with my big trendy sunglasses should allow me to blend a bit more and have some fun. :) Plus in 28 washes the box says, it'll be gone. I wonder what Dave will think when he gets back into town tonight. We'll see!
