Rule #1 of traveling is to avoid sunburns on back, shoulders, chest, and upper legs like death!

Fortunately, I avoided the back and my shoulders for the most part, but my chest all the way up to my shoulders and the front of my legs didn't managed to escape. There is a stripe going down the front of my legs, from upper thigh to ankle which makes squatting and kneeling down pretty damn uncomfortable, especially in jeans. But I'm wearing jeans because I don't want to shave over my burn in order to wear my shorts. The worst of it is carrying roughly a 40 pound backpack... it does not feel good when it presses against bright pink skin!


Will write more later... just wanted to let you know that I was alive... barely lol

Ouch, I'm sorry hun. I hope it's not getting too much in the way of your trip. If it is, I guess you'll just have to go back someday. Oh darn! ;) I miss your loveliness.

Good to hear from you
Its good to hear from you Gill. There was a couple of weeks of no action on the blog and I got worried. Called Meg to see if they had heard from you. Tough on the sun burn. Are you having fun ? Are you on schedule for return to the U.S. ?
