Sarah: Olives

Hi,

In the hotel the bar serves three kinds of sandwiches and olives. I'm convinced the Church's are genetically made to crave certain foods and olives is one of them. So, I order my drink with a side of olives and out comes a Daiquiri and a martini glass full of Spanish green olives. :)))). Also on the food list are Mrs. Noshin's (sp?) pickles and artichokes; alcohol is in there too but let's not bring that up these days.

Sunscreen. As you know, my sunscreen was confiscated in Grand Cayman. So, I found a little shop in our hotel that had sunscreen. I bought some and the next morning went about the business of applying it. Well, in would not come out of the plastic bottle. Finally, I used both hands to squeeze with all my might, which defeats the purpose of putting some in your hand, and out plopped a big glob on to the counter. Well, happy to have access to the stuff, I simple began scooping it up with both hands and applying it from off the counter. I wondered what the the poor maid must have thought when she cleaned up that mess. So, back to putting the stuff on. It was white and after I put I on it stayed white for awhile. Hmmmmm. Next, I noticed it was gritty. As if it the producers provided beach sand in advance of going out doors. Gritty sunscreen I can live without. Next day, I'm at the shop buying the gel version of sunscreen. It is still white(?) but does not contain grit or make me even paler than I am already.

Love
S
