I am... Allou!

[annabtg]

So, today I woke up, and the first thing I heard was Thodoris asking me whether I'd join them to Allou.

Me: Today?

Thodoris: Yes.

Me: Did you ask dad?

Thodoris: Yes, and he said he'll take us.

Well, if he said so...

We went. We stayed for four and a half hours, more or less. We had lots of fun :D My being an adult helped Thodoris get in a couple of rides he wouldn't have been allowed in otherwise :D

The sun was burning hot and, combined with the dizziness several of the rides brought, made me need breaks every once in a while. It was good, though. There were a couple of cute guys handling some rides, too. Christos and I got even more tanned (Thodoris has such dark skin it doesn't get any darker...). The bad part of that is that I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, so now my shoulders are considerably lighter than the rest of my arms :p

All in all, it was a great morning/early afternoon. And I got to spend time with my brothers, too :)

See ya,
Anna.

P.S. for those interested: The title is actually one of the taglines in the Allou advertisements. 'Allou' in Greek means 'another place', so they make for an amusing double-entendre.

re: Thodoris has such dark skin it doesn't get any darker

i dated a black guy (think i showed you a pic), you might think he wouldnt tan but actually he did. and it didnt always quite go away after! (he told me once that his dad and grandma started out much lighter than they were when i knew them, but when they tan it doesnt go away.)

not that that *really* has anything to do with what you said, i was just...intrigued?

Mmm, well, Thodoris is not black. We have no black people in the family. His skin is just naturally tan-coloured, and because he's been spending an awful lot of time outside, under the sun, his skin has darkened very much. But after we got home, there was no visible difference between the parts of his body that had been more exposed to the sun during the day. Unlike what happened to me and Christos. (My skin is darker than Christos's, but lighter than Thodoris's.)

Didn't know that black people could get tan, though, and that it might not go away later. You learn something new every day.

See ya,
Anna.
