Yes, we are still in Kremmling and have yet to get our van repaired. Diana has decided to fill in the time by managing to get herself sunburned. Yes, I have been all good and put on sunscreen each day, but due to the high elevation (7,364 feet), we’re in a situation where the sun’s rays are quite intense.

Di put sunscreen on each day, but one day, the back of her shirt rode up a little bit, and she did not know it. Though only exposed to the sun for about 30 minutes, she managed to burn a large crescent shape onto her back.

She’s been all stiff and sore for days now, and it’s begun to blister. It all looked so bad that we went to the doctor today and found out that it’s actually the same as a 2nd-degree burn (not surprising, given the way it looked).

Again, only a few minutes with the medical person, and another large charge (still, covered by insurance. So, other than toasting Diana with the sun’s rays, we’re still getting ready to depart here Sunday and head to Denver to get the car fixed.
