Sun Protection

Nicas are very careful when it comes to protecting themselves from the sun. Most men wear baseball caps, women frequently carry sun umbrellas, and people try to stay out of the sun during the hottest midday hours. So, I guess given this meticulousness regarding sun protection, I shouldn't have been at all surprised when the driver of the mini-bus I was in on Saturday whipped out a sweater sleeve (yes, a stand-alone black sweater sleeve) and proceeded to put it over his left arm (the one that would be exposed to the sun through the window). But I was. And I couldn't suppress a smile.
