Sunburn

Yeah, me. I never thought it was possible. 
My brown skin gets deep dark after ten minutes in the sun. I put on sun protection factor 30 to 60, almost a sun block, to prevent from turning into a zebra and I stay under the umbrella. And still I tan heavily, but even.

Also this time I was well prepared. Sun protection factor 35, a sun hat and enough water to drink. A great day of relaxing at the beach. It felt so good to take the wrapping off, especially after being covered up in Iran. I enjoyed and indulged every sun ray on my skin. But when i took a shower that evening, it hurt. Red all over. An even rouge, but not the effect i had wanted.

Never in my life.
Am I turning into a Caucasian after more that thirty years? 
And jeez, when does this burning sensation of the skin stop?
