I've got less than two weeks before my flight, meaning I have less than two weeks to pretty myself up for my grand re-introduction into British society. So, feeling that a little color never hurt, I wondered about today looking for a place to work on my tan before it got too hot.

Water bottle in hand, I set off down the road. Along my way I spotted a bunch of houses and took a bunch of turns before, eventually, I came to one of the main roads. However, right next to the road was a secluded wooded area that stretched quite a bit, hidden behind a bunch of houses. I figured "why not?" and set about exploration of this wooded land.

Carefully treading past ant hills and cracks in the earth that could hold deadly, deadly snakes (Well probably not, but still.) I made my way along and into the tree line. After a while I came across a spot that was shielded from almost all angles by fairly dense shrubbery and gave me a good view of anyone who might wander into it. It was the perfect tanning spot (More or less.) So, 2/3rds of my water remaining, I figured I would strip down a tad and get to work.

I stayed there until I felt a little faint/had virtually no water left before wandering back to the Aunt's place. (So, about an hour in 100 degree weather. 1:15 tops.)

I think ill go back there tomorrow and work on it some more. Or ill have a minor sunburn tomorrow and stay inside for the next day or two.
