Up from our (lazy!) naps at 4:30 we head to town. Our only objective is to get Stanley a haircut. We find a place "Modern Barber". It looks like a place out of the 1930s except for the poster of haircuts offered pasted to the door. We sit down and wait and as the Maestro is finishing up a buzz on someone. Then Stanley is invited to the chair and adorned in pink plastic sheets and asked "which number?" referring to the poster on the door. Julia goes to have a look… hmmmm.. Number 8 could be interesting with the total shave except the silhouette of Michael Jordan (can this guy really pull that off?). There is also number 11 which looks like some sort of cone-style but I don't think that would work on Stanley and would be difficult to keep up on the road. Julia selects "number 1" with some of "number 3". The shaving begins (there are no scissors involved). An amazing amount of hair is being shorn away considering Stanley had pretty short hair to begin with. We wait in anticipation….. After all the buzzing a contraption attached to a bucket and part of a garden hose are brought out from behind a curtain. It turns out to be the 'sink' for a little shampoo and rinse. The end result is a good looking Stanley with very, very short hair all at a total cost of 10 Birr ($1.10).
