Retreat from the Sun

adrienmundiWe made it back, despite a concerted effort of the Georgia DOT to keep us somewhere around Macon (at least 30 minutes to go two miles). Interestingly, the sheer number of SUVs goes up dramatically the closer you get to Atlanta (fuckers).
The ocean was, well, amazing. My beloved kept gently mocking me about just how excited I was to be near or in it, but was quite accomodating of my need/desire to be so. For a landlocked person, I have no idea why big bodies of water, the ocean in particular, is just so exciting to me, but that it is is beyond question.
Unfortunately, as accomodating as the ocean was, the sun was not. Both of us have been branded, to different degrees (I suppose not having waterproof sunscreen, and not being diligent in reapplication has something to do with it, as well). My shoulders are crisped such that clothing will be quite the ordeal, and my bulbous forehead is now a crimson dome that would surely make the diMedicis envious. But, it was a fabulous trip.

Date: 2003-05-05 08:36 am (UTC)i too am drawn to the water, which makes sense when one considers that i'm from florida, but less sense to remember that i'm such an archetypal fire sign. *eh* whatever.
get yourself some lotion with alpha hydroxy (not too high a concentration) in it, and it'll take care of that sunburn tout de suite ;-)
