Fun in the Sun


We spent yesterday fulfilling the month long promise to take the kids back to the water park. What could be better than a sunny day playing with friends in the water? Add a couple of goats climbing around the water slides and some stray dogs wading in the green water next to the toddlers and you have a uniquely Bangladesh experience.

It's a bit tricky enjoying this water park to its fullest since they only have power enough to turn on one attraction at a time. It's pretty obvious when the wave pool is working, but sometimes figuring out which slide is going can be a challenge.

The other steep learning curve we faced yesterday related to the comparative effectiveness of Bangladeshi sunscreen. For a country obsessed with skin lightening lotions you'd think they'd put more effort into making good sunscreen. Ours didn't work at all. We're all a bit pink today.


Wow, that water looks much worse in the pictures.
