Must Remember Sunscreen

As I look around at some of the ex-pats that have been here for several years now, I consistently notice one thing: bad skin. So many people look so much older than they actually are. They have enjoyed the beaches, some have learned how to dive, others how to play tennis outdoors and even more have just lounged around the pool and their skin is paying the price.

I brought lots of sunscreen for Gusi, some for us, as well as some moisturizer with sunscreen in it for myself, but I need to use it a lot more often--as well as broad brimmed hats. I don't want skin cancer or premature wrinkles, and I have to keep reminding myself that we are much closer to the equator now than we were before so precautions are a must.

The trick is how to keep Gusi's hat on each time he goes outdoors.
