FICTION! MELANIN FAIL! SUNBLOCK FAIL!
So in all my years of being in the sun - swim team, lifeguarding, tennis practice, lacrosse, wearing baby oil in Cancun - never have I burned before. What would make Brazil any different??!?! Who knows but after 2 hours on a boat headed to some island beach, I find myself red - apparently you can see the redness in my skin - and having this burning sensation covering my chest, arms, legs, and face. I have a new found understanding for white people and their suffers to look like me; DARK. Needless to say, white people this is not worth it. Wear sunglasses. Wear hats. Wear t-shirts. Use an umbrella at the beach. Wear sunblock, not just any sunblock, sunblock with like SPF 70!
What sucks for me is that I didn't bring any sunblock. ::womp::womp::
Still going strong, LIVING FULL OUT, but underneath an umbrella :-(
