How do you go to sunny California, lay on the beach reading all Saturday, forget to put on sunscreen, and come back with only a slight sunburn on your shoulders and nowhere else to show for it?
By being Kate Barlow, that's how.
It's against all I grew up being taught. If you don't put sunscreen on, you fry. Apparently, this fact is only true for most - normal - people. I'm an exception to the rules of science and pragmatism, it would seem.
I have a slightly annoying sunburn on my back and upper chest (and maybe on my left ear, from the drive home...), and that's all I have to show that I was in California for 4 days. Awesome. I came home from the beach with a tinge of red on my nose, making me look like I recently caught a cold, but even that bit of sun seemed to have gone away by the next afternoon.
Seriously, can I please get some color this summer?
In other news, my trip of 1sts was a blast! I'll be back with more about it later. Right now, I must go to bed, for I am exhausted. It's amazing how doing nothing for 4 days, and then sitting in a car, doing nothing, for 10 hours, can wipe you out so much...
