For years my dad has faithfully carried a handkerchief in his back pocket. He has probably done this since he was a young boy, because his dad does it too. For years he has lamented the fact that his boys don’t carry one around.
Dad. Yesterday I carried one, and it was a life saver.
Every time I come to Costa Rica I have a very hard time with allergies. Part of it is the different plants and climate, but for the most part I think its the prevalence of humidity and warmth leading to mold in a lot of places. I came prepared this trip with a brand new box of Wal-Dryl antihistamine and the handkerchiefs my dad gave me ten years ago when I left for college. For some reason I have kept them in my sock drawer ever since.
They saved many a runny nose yesterday and will at least through the end of my time here in Costa Rica.
