BaltimOregon to Maine

I had an Indian mehndi henna painting done on my hand Saturday at Fireworks, the localvore Southtown Corvallis restaurant owned by my friend Intaba. These fun hippy things just come to you in Oregon. You don’t even have to seek them out.

Kailyn did my hand up with some feathery lotus pattern. I love the tingle as the henna penetrates the skin and dries. I thought of my Bangladeshi students, who painted my hand at their house for Eid. Next time I’ll have to get my chest done!
