Sunburn

Thailand has really been great. The first two days were sunny in the morning and then without fail it would rain in the early afternoon. Fortunately, we were eating at a quaint Thai restaurant on the beach near the hotel each time. Then it would clear up for us to go on the beach again. We are sitting on a beach right in front of a little make shift bar which serves topical drinks and we can play games like Jenga. Even though we have an umbrella on the beach, without fail the sun is finding skin which we either missed with the SPF 55 or the water has washed away. I hate having the tops of my feet burned but that is what has happened (makes for tough walking with shoes). The sun has found exposed spots on AF and BF like on the face or shoulders. One place that I have a hard time with is on top of my bald head. So AF bought me a "rag" for my head. Hopefully today we will do a better job of screening the sun.

The beach has been so relaxing that we have not felt like taking any excursions like snorkeling to Monkey Island, or shopping in Patong. There are lots of interesting people watching and of course Anna the hotel baby elephant is great to watch on the beach or in the Andamen Sea.
