You're concerned. That's sweet.

Unlike their Latino counterparts who have no inner monologue, gringo men rarely say anything out loud to you on the street, although they do stare overtly enough. So I was surprised when I passed a middle-aged whitey with his bespectacled eyes fixed on me as I scurried to the Jacó bus station this weekend and saw him open his mouth to say something.

"Wow," he said, as I braced myself. "I hope you have sunscreen."
