Solar Fury

Well, I have been in Kenya for over a year now, and it was just this week that I got my first major burn. I’ve had a little extra pink in my cheeks after some afternoons in the sun, but have managed to avoid any serious scalding. Until Monday afternoon. For our last hurrah before the family returned Jonathan and I spent most of the day at the pool, had lunch there, swam, laid in the sun and read books. After the family came in that evening, I realized that my legs were really burning after I hefted the suitcases into the car. Yep, they were raspberry red. My legs and back are still burning three days and 12 aloe vera applications later. Lesson learned: SPF 60 is my friend.
