Aloe Vera plant

I forgot sunscreen on Saturday.... we had just gotten off of a minibus and I wasn't thinking when I left the hotel to go and eat and see the town...but it didn't take long to remember that I was going to burn! We were out in the middle of nowhere with the sun beating down on my WHITE face :( 

Actually it was not as bad as I thought it might be...and it is slowly fading. Nevertheless I did need to put some aloe on it, so when I got home on Sunday night I went out to the Aloe Vera plant and got some aloe! My roommate told me that there are Aloe Vera plants in the US, but I had never even thought of where aloe come from before coming to Thailand.

Ready to put some aloe on my face...
