I hope the kids won't need therapy for this

Here we are in Mallorca (or Majorca) with plenty of time to wait out weather by going to the beach.  It gives me some time to sit and reflect on our transition to life in the Mediterranean.

Week one: I delicately explain to Aethan that sometimes, girls his age sometimes dont wear any bathing suit tops because there is really no difference between boys and girls at his age.  He seems non-plussed, shrugs off my vicarious pre-tween angst, and plays with kids at the beach.  I am so proud, he is such an young citizen of the world.

Week three:  Aethan seems to think it is as weird as I do to see topless women at the beach.   Graeme doesnt notice.  I am actually a concientious objector to sunbathing. It is bad for your health, and bad for your skin.  Out of fashion, really.  Besides, who cares if you dont have tan lines and you are lightly toasted from head to toe?  Really...what is the draw?  

You know where this is going...

Week 5. Long passage from Ibiza to Mallorca.  Pretty boring day.  Kids are downstairs playing Legos (as they do for hours...no days...on end).  The sun is nice and before you can say 'All out in the open' I am laying on the foredeck, a private nook of the boat, relaxing the warm sun. Now I get it.  No sad and soggy patches of wet nylon strapped to my chest.  THIS is why they do it.  Ahhhh, the empowerment.

All I have to say next is nothing says 'New-to-the-Mediterranean' than two blazing hot neon pink triangles on your chest.  I slept on my back for 2 nights.  Finally things up top settled down, and there I was, back on the foredeck, catching some rays on our next passage.  

Code was concerned that I was peeling after a full day in the sun.  I told him I need more time the 'toughen them up'.   He didn’t thing that having good tough breasts is a goal I should necessarily be working toward.  Then we spend a few days at Calla Covas, a spot with neolithic caves, a freshwater spring, and a weath of skin in all shapes and sizes.  As beautiful as the human body is (or at least in theory), lets just say too much skin kind of kills the appetite for the sun.

So, I suppose I will revert back to the concientious objector of the sun that I am.  Break out the 70+SPF, find my 'covers' (as the kids call them), and find some shade.

This is White House and DOJ modus operandii. The ends justifies the means. cartier replica jewelry
