Does sunblock come in soap?

We conquered The Jiuz today. Jiuzhaigou is known as China's Yosemite, and it lived up to its name. The place was just amazing, with the clearest water I have ever seen. The lakes had every shade of blue and green in them and would not have been out of place in the Caribbean. The Juiz is long though, about 20 miles. We didn't walk all of it, but we prolly walked about 15 miles. I have my withered up feet to prove it.

We've started the malaria pills since we are moving on to more rural areas. The pills are an antibiotic, and they have the following side effects: skin is more sensitive to sunlight, yeast infections, may make birth control ineffective, oh aaaaaand, it may give you nightmares. The side effect I'm mainly concerned about is nightmares, so we have started taking them with breakfast in hopes that no scary monsters will chase us 16 hours later. I have my share of night terrors without the pills, but so far so good. As some of you may know, I am very very white. Some call it pale, I call it pure. Anyways, I was out in the clouded sun for not even 5 minutes yesterday and lo and behold! My cheeks are aflame come night time. I got sunburned in like 2 minutes because of these pills. Ok I know some of you aren't very surprised, but I am! And I'm pissed! I'm going to have to bathe in 50 spf every day before I can step into sunlight. Maybe I should become a vampire. But I'll leave that career option open until I get back from this trip.

It's been 10 days now. What ever family member had 10 days in the 'How long will Booty last' pool loses! I'm not coming home quite yet and I just had a delicious dinner of toast, eggs and hot chocolate. I can find beige things to eat everywhere! My stomach may be a mess right now, but it will even out. I bought some medicine today and communicating with the pharmicist was a bit rough. I'm either supposed to take 1 pill at 6 in the morning, or 6 pills through out the day. I hope I choose the right one..

We're off to Songpan tomorrow for a horseback riding trek. I know my sister would love this and I wish she could be here! Apparently the guides set up camp for you and cook 3 meals a day. Basically all we have to do is stay on the horse and we are golden. I can't vouch for Hbf but I'm pretty sure I can handle that. I'll make sure to get pictures when he falls off. Or when I throw things at him to startle his horse and then he falls off. ;) I kid.
