True. Even in the snow we go walking for miles every day (neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night shall keep border collies from going stir-crazy without their walkies) -- it's hard to say whether I'd rather walk in the heat here or in the snow in PA. Generally I like walking in snow, but ice is not my friend.

After my encounter with a jellyfish I would certainly prefer to dive in a thin wetsuit, but we haven't had any problems with sunburn while snorkeling. We tend not to go during the hottest part of the day, and we wear lots of waterproof sunscreen.
