Nectar of the Gods

After the first day at the beach, even though we were wearing lots of sun-block, we both both had a little bit of red on our faces. We didn’t want to turn into peeling skin faces, so we got some Aloe AfterSun lotion from one of the local quick-e-marts (ABC Stores … one every block, I swear!). This lotion is amazing. Applied it once or twice, redness is gone, and hello tan! Note, when we stopped at the ABC Store, the clerk asked: “Get your sun-tan lotion yet?”. Obviously, she saw our red faces and assumed we were noobs. The next day, we went back to get some SPF 50 to be safe. We had been using SPF 30.

Beach towels rolled up and affixed to the backpack via tie-downs, we walked into the ABC Store. The same clerk was there, and this time she said: “You want beach mat? $1.69! Better than towel for beach!” In the back of my mind, I was thinking, “maybe she’s trying to tell us something?” We declined. At the end of the day, the beach towels worked out just fine.
