#162 - Don't Like Travel with Humidity

Looking Good in Mexico

It's not easy to look stylish when your body is covered in layers of sunscreen and sweat. The wind doesn't help either, when it blasts an extra layer of salt and sand onto your sticky skin and hair.  But our trip to Mexico wasn't about looking good.

I was more focused on feeling good and it felt incredibly good not having long strands of hair... sticking to my face and neck! Yay!

Taking Advantage of Short Hair!

I had 2 weeks in Mexico to celebrate the fact that I feel so darn good. No hairdryers and no worries.  For about the first time in adult life, I dove into pools and the surf whenever I felt like it.  Not once did I worry about keeping my hair dry. My showers were fast and I often went to dinner with my wet hair slicked back.

Open Windows

Since this was a non-glam trip for us, Don and I spent many hours in taxis with no air-conditioning and buses with open windows. I felt like a happy pup, with my face to the window, feeling the warm air blast away. I didn't have to fight my own hair whipping into my face.  My short, gray curls just did their own little dance on top of my head. It's a new world.

Wind Blown and Happy

The wind did strange things to my hair. Even Don had a new style going, after this boat ride. I still don't know where I'm going with my hair style, but I enjoyed 2 weeks of not caring!
