My husband's family and I went on a vacation last week to Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh. For anyone who doesn't know where that is or hasn't been there, Cox's Bazar features the longest beach in the world, a genuine former Buddhist temple, mountain goats, a Burmese market, and hundreds of kilometers of fresh sand and surf.
I don't swim (well, I know how to swim but I don't like to) so I spent most of my "beach time" under an umbrella eating puffed rice and drinking milk coffee. This is what any smart person with extremely fair skin would do, considering it was brutally sunny and I still got sunburned even though I was wearing SPF 60 and was in the sun for less than two hours.
Here are my "vacation" hijab styles from an actual vacation!
My husband and I at the Buddhist temple. If we had a Buddha, this is where it would go.
Left: There were young guys with horses, and if you paid them a little money, you could ride the horse for 10 minutes. However, we spent all of our 10 minutes posing on the horse, so it didn't actually have to do much work.
Right: Me, lounging on the chair under the umbrella. I did this for 3 days.
Left: After slugging through sticky, icky mud and about 16" of water, we discovered an empty beach absolutely crawling with small red crabs! It was hard to get a picture of them, because they were super fast, but you can see their prints in the sand.
Right: After finishing a long, looooooong 3 hour walk through the Safari Park (where there were many less animals than advertised), we stepped into the shade and enjoyed coconut juice directly from the coconut. Ahh, refreshing.
