It has been mad hot here lately. Everything is calculated in degrees Celsius and, begin the brilliant math teacher that I am, I of course have no idea how hot that is. Welp, apparently it's really hot. I've never felt so sweaty and greasy all the time. I got out of the shower the other day sweaty. That's nasty. It is comforting, however, that everyone else is constantly sweating too. Did I say comforting? I meant smelly and gross.
Last Sunday I finally went to the beach for the first time. My fam and I drove down to Beirut to hit the beach with Randa. That is, Sami and I hit the beach. My parents walked around. My dad bought my mom a straw hat and yes, she wore it around all day. Actually quite cute.
Anywho, Randa's uncle belongs to a private beach and we pretended to be her sister and brother to tag along. The sun was hot and I tanned a little, but I'm still the same basic shade of white. That's soon to change because....
...RANDA AND I ARE GOING TO THE DEAD SEA TOMORROW! Yes, it's true. We will be spending the entire weekend at the Movenpick resort in Jordan. And the heat there is crazy. I'm fully expecting to return and be unrecognizable under my sick tan. Details about our excellent adventure to Jordan will be fleshed out upon our return :)
On a less pleasant note, I was sick for the past 2 days. I ate something that didn't agree with me and boy did it disagree! I'll spare you the details, but it was not pretty and I ended up eating very little and spending lots of time sleeping. After 2 days of nasty, I awoke today feeling almost normal, thank god. I'm not even surprised though. Lebanon'll do that to you.
That's all for now. Tomorrow: JORDAN!
Have fun at the Dead Sea! Can't wait to see pics when your back. Miss you!
