She told me I might grow tired of it… the sand, ~ sticky, salty air (that can wreak havoc on hair like mine) … not to mention the heat. But she was wrong~ I never did.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Yes, a hermit crab comes standard with the purchase of any bikini in the shop… mine now lives in my aquarium~ his name is, "Crush." Thank you for your suggestion on the conditioner~ It's quite possible that I have the most stubborn hair in America – it must be willfully brushed into submission. After swimming on this particular day~ one of my girlfriends was sweet enough to brush out my hair… for forty-five minutes…oi.
