I look especially white (and fat) on a black sand beach on the Dark Continent.

Here is the only picture of me on the internet so far, courtesy of Sara. It was taken in Limbé, on a volcanic beach. The boy is Steve, the token male in our group.

Notice that my shoulders and face are several shades browner than the rest of me. The equatorial sun is intense, so the bits of me that are exposed regularly are looking slightly more African.
