Every summer I get a brutal sunburn the first time I spend an afternoon on a beach. Yesterday the girls and I went to Barcelonita and went to the beach. I should have known that things would go wrong because when I went up to change I found to my shock that instead of grabbing my black bathing suit bottoms, I had grabbed a black sports bra. So, I had to suck it up and go in the water in my underwear. Luckily for me, I suppose, it was a clothing-optional beach and wearing underwear was a lot less risqe then what most people were doing. Although I suppose on a European beach it isn't even considered risqe. So, the girls and I helped each other put on sunscreen, but apparently that didn't work out to well because I got a burn all over my shoulders and on my thigh. It is becoming tradition for this to happen, try as I may to prevent it. So, now I am trying to wear sleeves to protect my burnt shoulders and to cover up the awful pattern in which I am burnt.
I am having a good time in Barcelona. We sleep in, walk around all day, drink lots of water (well, I drink lots of water), eat gelats and tonight we are going to a Flamenco show!!! The show is just down the street from us and its something we've been looking forward to for a long time. Then tomorrow it is our last full day in Barcelona, and tomorrow is the final football match. If Spain wins, be sure we will not be sleeping one bit!
