Our first haircuts in Costa Rica

Well, the time came when Jonathan and the boys were desperately needing to get their haircut.  We found a friend at school who took us to the place that he likes to go.  We met a guy named Luigi.  Jonathan went first.  We tried to gesture and use our Spanish dictionary to tell how we wanted it cut.  It was a little scary not knowing how the haircut was going to turn out, but it came out great.

Then, it was David's turn.  We told Luigi to do a similar cut for David.  David did a great job of being still, and his hair cut turned out great.

 Then, it was Eli's turn.  He likes to keep his hair long, so we were not sure how to describe what we wanted Luigi to do, but we did manage to get across that he could just thin it up a little.  While he was doing the boys hair he put some sort of gel stuff and spiked their hair up before he finished cutting.  It made for a great picture of Eli.

It was a great experience!  Luigi was holding up different things (scissors, clippers, combs, etc.) and telling us the Spanish word for the item.  We will definitely go back.
