Leave it to me to get an allergic reaction to my sunblock….but I did. What I thought was heat rash on Tuesday has now engulfed both of my arms and is beginning to appear on my chest and legs (eerily reminiscent of the rash I had last spring before going to Paris…except this one isn’t accompanied by a sore throat or fever).<\/p>\n

Nope. The red dots are now prickly and itchy. Yesterday, despite the discomfort, Randy and I went to Zona Romantica and sat at the gay beach, had lunch along the ocean, and then walked around the area. It was quite lovely except for the pain. We stopped by a pharmacy in our travels and the druggist prescribed some sort of prescription ointment.<\/p>\n

Today I actually went to a Mexican doctor who said to continue with the ointment, but also prescribed some drug. He also said to avoid the sun for the next three days. Of course, by the time I’m allowed to enjoy the sun again, I’ll be back in Boston. YAY ME!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I suspect I won’t get much sympathy…nor do I deserve it. Unless, of course, my home burned down. I’ve only seen tidbits here and there, but there was apparently a massive fire on my block last night that has left 55+ people homeless and destroyed multiple buildings in the North End. Oh dear. (NOTE: I just looked and the fire was a block away…phew).<\/p>\n

I’m not going to think about that….at least not yet. Instead, here are more photos of our day trips to Bucerias and Zona Romantica.<\/p>\n

This is Bucerias just before sunset<\/p>\n

And then came sunset<\/p>\n

Bucerias is apparently a bit of an art colony. Randy appreciates art (maybe a little too much)<\/p>\n

And now this is Thursday in Zona Romantica<\/p>\n
