I don't burn that easily. I can go out in the sun with SPF45 all day and maintain my pallour. I used to tan pretty deeply as a kid. (This is one of the reasons I don't tan as an adult...skin memory.)

You're used to humidity, but you don't seem to be used to short days. Sleeping until 4pm will allow you to miss the hottest time of the day, but you will also miss the best sunlight. Though I must admit that the evenings will be delightful.
As I said, I like the shade...plus I like napping. I like the sun too, but midday out in the sun isn't my idea of having a blast. I'm going to keep my eye out for indoor activities during the midday, even if it's just lounging around smoking cigars. I like resting and having nothing to do but think many thoughts. Maybe I'll bring some reading. Maybe not.

Sorry, girly, if I could take you with me, I would.
