Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.

Lucille Ball said that. So come to Brazil and fall in love. The women in Brazil are gorgeous. But a lot of them think it is necessary to dye their hair. I went looking for hairspray the other day and couldn't find any in the drug store. Finally, someone showed me where it was, taking up about 2 feet of space on a lower shelf. But hair dyes? Twenty feet down an aisle, both sides of the aisle, four shelfs on each side!

The strangest color that a lot of women here apparently love is a red that nature never intended. It could only come from a bottle. I would take a picture of someone with this bight red hair, but I don't want them to think I think it's odd. But it sure is bright! My gray hair is an oddity here. I don't see many women, even 30 years older than I am, with gray hair. That's OK, I'm getting used to being an oddity!
