Hello everybody and sorry for not posting so frequently these days... You know, not much going on, many people leaving on vacation, some leaving for good (Florencia and Anelise, miss you already!), and the rest of us getting ready for our vacation, finishing things off so we can enjoy our well-deserved holiday!
It's getting so hot and humid here, and in many other parts of the northern hemisphere - I heard some parts of Europe will get high temperatures in the coming days, and Mexico must be as hot as usual - so I thought I'd bring you something useful for once, so useful it could save you from a sunstroke!
Typical story: you go out for a nice walk on a nice sunny afternoon, and you're just out the door when you realize you forgot your baseball cap / trendy Panama hat / romantic straw hat / charro hat (?!). Well, it's too late to get it now, you'll be fine! And then once you're in the middle of Saint Jean de Monts beach / Chichen Itza ruins / the Sahara / a petanque court, you desperately search for shade, but there isn't! What to do???
That's the moment to turn your
keffiyeh (or any other large fabric square) into an improvised, efficient hat! (the Bedouins use it; is it a good enough reason to suppose it's efficient?)

Cool, uh?
You can wrap it in different ways: in the above picture, the triangle point is left longer at the back.
I will show you how to wrap it completely. |
 |
| Fold the fabric square in two, in order to obtain a large triangle. Then position the triangle point facing down on the back and fold the upper part on your forehead. |
 |
| Take one top edge of the triangle and start twisting it while you wrap it around your head. |
 |
| Once you wrapped it around your head, tuck the end under the wrapped fabric. |
 |
| Take the other top edge of the triangle and do the same: twist, wrap, tuck |
 |
| Done! |
 |
Now you can travel to the Arab world and just fit in ;)
