Funny image: the girl who cleans the pool dressing in full rain gear (pants, jacket, etc.) because it started to drizzle on her. While she was cleaning my pool. I felt so bad as she had jeans/t-shirt underneath -- so hot!!! <br /><br />anyway, yes, good tips Jim. and -- wear a hat. You'll sweat like crazy, but your scalp won't burn.The Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090284449975514483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043287896001157919.post-90626480875276334052011-01-23T21:14:54.175-02:002011-01-23T21:14:54.175-02:00I love walking in the rain,,, but seems like it al...I love walking in the rain,,, but seems like it always rains after I have tried to do something with my hair and am on the way to dinner....

In early February. While my Brazilian wife was enjoying the sun, I on the other hand, could feel my Northern Hemisphere Winter White skin practically catching on fire. Even with SPF-50. I lasted about 1 hour before I started to beg for shade or to just go back to the hotel room so I could stand under the shower. "Go in the ocean!", she says. Yeah, the water was freezing cold and didn't provide the best relief from my overheated skin. That was my experience with the Brazilian summer. Take it in small doses first. Or, just take Jim's suggestions. His are better.<br /><br />-Chris<br />www.floridaguyinbrazil.comChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617841973318150573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043287896001157919.post-28089392353393977722011-01-22T16:18:04.804-02:002011-01-22T16:18:04.804-02:00I think you posted this just for the pictures ;)
