It’s only a quarter till four, and I got pretty decent sleep last night, but for some reason, I’d just love to take a nap right now. Today has been nicer than the rest so far. The temperature is nice and the sky is partially blue. The humidity is going to take some getting used to. My neighbor-teers and I got a little tour around the back areas of the neighborhood – so we tromped around through some brush and greener lands. There was one area we came across with a stream that ran through vibrantly green hills and massive stone steps, which could have looked like ruins had they not been contained by chain link and littered with bottles. The water running through this place was grey. Contaminated. One of the little boys found a toy car caught against some other trash, stuck in the current.
So far, I’ve been bitten twice by mosquitoes. Once on the bottom of my foot and one close enough to my butt that I’m seriously concerned as to how they reach the places they do. It’s going to be a challenge for me to remember to but on the repellent. But I think waking up at three in the morning and attempting to scratch my foot for the next hour will offer some incentive.
I took plenty of pictures – not of the mosquito bites, of the other things – so I’ll post them later.
