Really Red
Well, the good news is that I just got back from official travel to Miami. The bad news is I look like a lobster.
I gave a presentation Monday morning, after that the Director of the Program that invited me down said that they were probably done with me until that evening and told me to head out to the beach. Needless to say I was glad to comply. Unfortunately, I put some sunscreen on, played in the water (surprisingly warm and the best part was that it had been windy all weekend so big waves) and then went to lay down and read. I promptly fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later completely burnt up. Like, small blisters on my shoulders burnt. Not good. I've got that wonderful little sunglass line on my face too. Oh well, it was still the beach. As long as I don't get sun cancer or anything it'll just be a "learning experience." I got back and then my boss (who lived in Miami for years) said, "Oh yeah, the sun in Miami is one of worst places where you can get burnt really easily and quickly." "Thanks for the advance warning."
