That last week before I set out I'm always busy dealing with last minute catastrophes, can't find my passport, two pairs of my favorite hiking socks reveal a hole where my bunions rub, placating family members, you know, nothing unusual. I always forget to get a haircut. I return 5-6 weeks later looking like the Wild Man of Borneo - hair sticking out and beard all over the place. This time around and I will probably forget too. Even a tiny village will have at least two peluquerías which, like synagogues, one, where women go to and the other - they wouldn't be seen dead in. Peluqueros are much harder to find, in big cities they can be discovered by looking through their windows -however! My second Camino and walking with a group of Australians, one bloke decided to have his hair cut in Burgos. He came out looking very nicely -however! He also was sporting a cloud of talcum powder and a family sized splash of cologne. Nobody would talk to him for three days. I wish to surprise everyone this time so to my question, peluquero I know, but how do you say "Take a little off the top" in Spanish also "sin talcum powder"? Sin perfume"? and "¡Don't touch the beard!"? Tonsorially yours, Scruff
