First Haircuts in India

Okay, where else in the world can you walk to the barber (albeit through trash and dust), walk in, and get everyone's haircut without a wait and for less than $2? Only in India!


This is the barber shop.


All three boys (see Rich in the mirror) sitting quietly (awe or fear, I'm not sure) while getting their hair cut without any nasty electric shavers (Isaac's least favorite part).


I think we will only know how Russell felt about this experience the NEXT time we go for a haircut. He was completely mute and docile. Not sure if he was tired, scared out of his wits, or enjoying the experience!



This is the little boy who watched the whole spectacle. I think he was the son of one of the barbers. At one point his dad went to buy him some grapes at the fruit seller just outside the door and the little boy came back and tried to share them with Russell. When I took this picture of him I showed him the photo in the viewfinder and he looked at it like he'd never seen a picture of himself before. So cute.
