I love this place! We've been here a week now and everything is really great. We're learning our way around, where to get this or that, and even how to say Surangel like a local - sur-ahn-el (almost like it has two syllables). We are even good with the heat and humidity. We even getting used to the quick weather changes - hot and sunny, then 10 minutes of pounding rain. Rather fun, if you ask me.

I tell you, sometimes you are just hoping some rain gets busy falling. It's the one sure way to cool off.

I only one complaint - and it's not really a complaint. It's more of a battle I can't seem to win. The Poof! My hair isn't really digging on the humidity. No matter what I do, by the afternoon I have Poof. My hair is all  . . .  well "poofy". Kind of frizzy, definitely fly away.

I start the day with smooth hair, under my command. Then it flips out, puffs up, and gets all scraggly. Doesn't seem to matter what shampoo I use, whether or not I blow dry, or how many incantations I try. Always the same - POOF!

Only one solution - ponytail beats Poof! Ha!
