Dear Kree,

Thanks for the stories...and congrats on teaching those guys what
henna really is!
I miss you too; there have been few opportunities for henna in NYC
but Kenzi and I are going to work hard to get more.
It seems the Marpol tip company doesn't have a website (for the rest
of you these are the Korean cake decorating tips we use) but I am
going to call around today while I have some free time and get some
bags too!
All is well otherwise here but I miss you and am homesick for the
west coast...

peace, love, and henna! email me when you can!

by

: had never seen it) and showed them what it was all about. result:
: converts to real henna & promise not to use the black henna again!
i
: know it was sincere because i ran into them later at another street
: stand selling other stuff and they smiled and said "no black
henna!"
: Went to the National Archeological Museum and spent a day peering
at

: described as "cosmetic" bowls. saw lots of goddesses though!
: anyway, i'll be back in the US in november and will be writing
again
: more frequently.
: hello to Anne! I miss you!
