When I got to his place, Marcos proceeded to inform me, “we don’t have water.” Like, no hot water? He pointed to a bucket in the shower and directed me to fill up behind the house. My mind flighted to the eighteenth century in search of a pump in the ground, or a well with an overhanging bucket. It was a sink in the shed outside his Manuel Antonio apartment. Still, it was different.
Marco empowered me that I could do it; I reminded him that just a couple hours ago he had superglued the skin back onto the bottom of my foot! Clumsy-girl’s Tico-fix! I had swiped my foot along a piece of glass by the beach. So, he filled the bucket and carried it to the shower like a gentleman. A sexy man should always be in low slung jeans, no shirt and lifting something heavy.
I used a bowl inside the bucket to pour the water on my BODY and hair. At first, it kinda sucked, I admit. It was cold (but, generally showers here are), I wasn’t convinced I’d be able to really wash my hair and then, I was doing it! I felt humbled and empowered.
Of course, my life wouldn’t be my life without a hitch! This is story of what happened next… Just as I finished washing my hair, feeling the success of accomplishment, I grabbed the large bucket to dump the remainder of water over my head. One last rinse. Until the contents of the bottom of the bucket, dirt or sand or both, dumped on my clean hair. Shit! wrapped in a towel I went outside to rinse my hair in the sink in the shed. The door to the house slammed behind me. Shit! Shit! Mierda! I was locked out. No key. No money. No clothes. No way to contact my friends. This is what I call “a Bianca!” Then the neighbor comes from around the corner with a copy of the key (“clave” en Español). I am blessed! Believe.
Later that night, I found myself at a wedding with Marco. I guess my hair turned out okay!
