HENNA

There is a practice in India of the women having their hands and feet decorated with henna artwork. We had it done in Cochin just before we left for the Backwater trip. Here is a view of Pam getting hers done. It was fun doing it, but the little couple doing it tried to pull a fast one on us. They had quoted us 50 RS and then they wanted 1,000RS! Now bear in mind that 1000RS is only $20, but it was the principle of the thing - an agreement is an agreement. So, we held firm and ended up paying them 100RS each - 50 for each foot.
