Picture me

Ok, I couldn't do this on the 18th when mindseas posted her pic because J had taken the camera on his spearfishing trip. However, being forewarned about the meme was not forearmed. This is how I look everyday. I can count on one hand the times I've worn makeup since living in Mayotte. As for fixing my hair...um, yeah, well, why do you think I have dreadlocks?

Silly me didn't use a flash so the only editing I did was to adjust the values a tad so you could see me. Call me a cheater.

Tom!!! Thanks for dropping by. :D Did you ever imagine I'd get dreadlocks? :P I wish you could come here, too, but Mayotte is hardly safe for people on their own two legs, much less for anyone in a wheelchair or reduced mobility. You know how much I like to walk at night, but here I'm afraid of breaking a leg or at least twisting an ankle.

Unfortunately, not even mainland France is very wheelchair friendly. I found it terribly shocking when I first arrived, and sadly, things haven't improved much since then.
