Before Haiti, this was my mental picture of a mosquito net. I imagined tropical vacations, remote beaches, and serene sunsets. It was a romanticized version of reality.
Last night I shared my mosquito net with a blood sucker.
It had a feast on my ankle and I itch like crazy! I got up several times during the night and I kept thinking that I would finally get some rest. Not really.
And then this morning, I saw it flying around inside my net. I lifted the edge and showed it to the door. A couple days ago Ashley said that she would rather get malaria than sleep in a mosquito net because if there's a bug stuck in your net, it will bite you all night. She was right, and this bug did bite all night!
Bye bye bugs. Next stop, home!
