GTL baby!

Spanish guy and I embarked on the long journey to that narrow island, we all know as Manhattan to ponernos morenos (as the Spanish say). As we stepped foot outside into the blistering below freezing air, we avoided street slush, slid on invisible ice sheets and ducked into the nearest Mexican bakery for a cafe con leche, then made our way down the wet subway stairs.

We were on our way to tan!

Yes there are places to go in Brooklyn, but we decided to leave our comfort zone and go where we've never gone before, to Beach Bum Tanning!

Upon entering the tanning booth, which can easily be mistaken for a torture chamber, we were excited (Snookie and Pauly D immediately crept into the back of our minds, JERSEY SHORE BABY!). Eight minutes later, we were done, we quickly dressed and stepped into the hallway, looked at each other... than at ourselves in the mirror.

We were exactly the same color. Mission FAILED!

haha, I'm only joking. We were a bit darker. This is all in preparation for our singles party and wedding. We wanted to try a new experience together, none of us have ever went tanning, and I always use #50 block for kids because I don't like to get darker) but we said, what the heck! And we did it!


When we got home, Spanish guy did laundry, but we missed the gym today, maybe we'll have a GTL two-parter! Yeah, thats what we'll do, a two-parter!

Here is our story in pictures:

above is the tanning booth, looks a bit scary, I know.
