I actually accidentally tucked the back of my skirt into my underwear, just now. I've never done that before. I wouldn't have noticed, except I went into my room to check out my SUNBURN right after going to the bathroom.
That's right, sunburn! I spend a week in Mexico wearing only tanning oil with an SPF of 8 and don't get burnt, and then I come back to San Francisco and get burnt in my own backyard. Worse still, it's mostly on my back upper thighs - so it hurts to sit down. Thank God it's not bad enough to blister, though. According to my mother, only blistering sunburns cause cancer. But doesn't it also increase your cancer risk to have frequent small dosages of sun?
Mexico was amazing. I made a list there of the 5 things I like best in the world:
1. solitude
2. silence
3. books
4. the ocean
5. spanish
Mexico is all that and shrimp ceviche.
