"How do you get red in such a weird spot?" -Jamese

Answer: Miss one spot of sunscreen. The weather has finally turned warm and beautiful. Yesterday Mika and I decided to take advantage of our girl only dorm complex and sunbathe on the roof. It was actually fabulous. There is a certain beauty in sweat actually doing its job rather than dripping off of you along w/the humidity. I was very careful to apply lots of sunscreen, knowing my fair skin can't handle Egyptian sun. However, I missed a spot on the back of my right knee. It is kind of hilarious. There is an inch wide strip about eight inches long with three fingerprints right in the middle of it. Oh dear. I'm just thankful I didn't do something that crazy on my face. Plus, since I can't wear shorts here, no one really sees it. I am really excited about the weather finally being warm, but I am quite afraid that it is going to go from warm to HOT all too quickly. Thursday it was 72, Friday 69, Sat 84, Sun. promises to be 90+. I'm going to be longing for my tanktops and shorts really quickly.

Update, my feet are now turning purple spotted. I don't feel the need to rub them on a tree anymore, so I hope that means they are healing. They look pretty creepy though. I also just realized that it is Palm Sunday in the states, this makes me sad. I love Palm Sunday, walking through the old town of English, following a donkey. I don't even get to celebrate it in a church. It isn't Palm Sunday here until next week, by that time I will be well on my way to Istanbul. I guess the trip will be a good trade off. Hopefully I will spend a lovely Easter in Turkey. Well, I have some serious work to get done. It is crunch time. Have great Sundays.
