"Did you just climb Everest?"

were the first words from my Scottish friend Ewan as I walked through the door of the base at Sources Chaud. All the sun I've been getting out on the open road has caught up with me. Both my nose and forehead sluffed off yesterday. The Haitians all stared in disbelief, skeptical that the sun could do that. After all it the same sun on their face and it certainly never did that to them. I'm taking better care now, appling aloe often and keeping covered with a bandana whenever I step outside.
