on the safari,
hats were wonderful for keeping my face from burning,
which it tends to do rather badly.
it was lovely not to have sunscreen on my face,
making my sunglasses slide down my nose.
but i only wore my cowboy hat the first day
and switched to a baseball cap for the other three.
obviously the straw cowboy hat covers more.
but i didn’t think of that, oh no, i only thought
of my poor straw hat getting wet if i accidentally went swimming during hand-offs.
i thought nothing of the changes i needed to make to my routine
getting out of the car preparations.
the result: my ears are peeling.
now how attractive is that??

  1. mmm. bet your hat is less misshapen than mine. i jumped in hat, sunglasses and all. pretty much as long as it was daylight. but then, my cowboy hat is a utility hat. it was bought to be abused at safari.
