After the first sign of sun after a long winter in Massachusetts, I'm usually in my bathing suit on my deck tanning. I love going outside with my ipod and some lemonade and turning my oh-so-white complexion to oh-so-bronzed. Here of course the sun is blazing hot and quintessential for some good tanning (provided that I have a good sunscreen), but that would be considered extremely inappropriate. Beach clothes, which includes any sort of clothing that exposes skin above the knees, are not to be worn anywhere but the beach. Putting on a bathing suit and spreading out in the backyard would allow people to call me all sorts of names...and people LOVE to give those titles here. I'm actually whiter in Panama than I was in Massachusetts.

Wow. I guess you don't go to the grocery store in your bathing suit (as I did when I was your age living in California).
