Tonight we attended the pre-wedding bridal shower. Many of the bride's family and friends came from all over the world. Starting with Indiana, Minnesota and Texas and rounding the globe with Switzerland, Egypt and Cyprus. We had a blast dancing to Arabic music trying to follow the beat of the drum! Each of us got our legs painted with henna. My carefully selected design unfortunately didn't get the reaction I had hoped for. What was going to be a tribute to my Mexican heritage as well as an homage to what we felt beating on our crowns was none other than our wonderful ... sol/sun. When I showed my ankle to the bride's grandmother, she asked what it was supposed to represent. I took a better look at it ... and it kinda looks like a spider gone out to lunch. Great, I'll have to explain what I don't have crawling on my leg for the next 10 to 12 days.
