Just askin' for it

Yes, the men down here tend to stare and whistle, I'm told it is a cultural thing.  This getup probably wasn't helping with the stare part, but it did cut down on whistles.

Here's the thing:  I am on a medicine that makes me burn, and when my face gets irritated like that, an onslaught of very painful, all consuming acne charges onto my face.  Not pleasant, and it isn't exactly a confidence booster either.

Problem:  I live by a beach!  It is one of the things that I can look at about Costa Rica and easily be thankful for.

<----Solution.  It is easier to be a little embarrassed for an hour at a time on the beach then to be embarrassed for weeks afterwords waiting for the super bad acne to go away.
