The sun poisoning is going away. It got really bad yesterday, but a few Benadryl tablets made it bearable. I did some research into sun poisoning and I have come to the conclusion that my shampoo (combined with too much sun) gave me the rash and the hives. Apparently some herbal shampoos, some foods, and some medications (combined with too much sun) have been known to cause really horrible cases of sun poisoning.
I hate to end a post on this Happy Sunshine Tropical blog on a bad note, so here are some pictures from Managaha:
This Korean kid put on all of his snorkeling gear in the shade and then tromped over to the water...in fact, that's what most of the Korean tourists were doing.
The Yakuza in Saipan!?! I wonder if this guy has any problems going to onsens?
On a clear day the view of Suicide Cliff from Managaha ain't so bad, huh?
I've never been parasailing, but it is one of the more popular tourist activities on Saipan. The parasail is advertising a new website, saipanagogo.com. It claims to be Saipan’s official website for information on where to go and what to do in Saipan, Tinian and Rota. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Decide for yourself.
Due to the removal of some rusted out WWII relics, the eastern shore of Managaha is starting to erode away into the Saipan Lagoon. As the sand washes away, hidden treasures are being exposed. These machine guns must have been hidden under the sand for decades.
Yet another beautiful shot of the Managaha shoreline.
My Dad's brother is the park ranger on Managaha. His name is Uncle Ralph. If you go to Managaha, pay him a visit.
