No one is safe!

I have officially gotten over my rebellion stage when it comes to sunscreen. When I first got to Greece I put on sunscreen like a good pale girl but then I got burn on my neck in our first excursion from Athens. Surprisingly the sunburn only hurt for a day and it wasn't even that bad. That was the start of my rebellion against my protective bubble of SPF 50. 

Our third day on Mykonos, our first official free day where we didn't have to wake up early, I went out by the pool and stayed there all day. Result: front half of my body burnt to a crisp and a little less burnt on my back. My stomach hurt to breathe but I thought my back would be okay to go out by the pool again the next day. WRONG. I put on SPF 50 just to be safe yesterday and then went out to the pool for a few hours. Result: burnt so badly on my back that I was only able to comfortably sleep for 5 hours. So this leads to my next question...who in the world gets burnt wearing SPF 50. Isn't SPF 50 near reflective. I mean how do albino people go out in the sun if you're not even protected with 50?!

So as I've said before, I have gotten over my rebellious urges to defy the sun gods. Now I get to sit inside on a beautifully windy day. Yay Me!
