Quick

Sorry this has to be quick. I just found out the huge spider was a tarantula! Go figure.
I´m in Bani for a month. I´m safe, but always hungry.

I am learning a lot about the knowledge people have regarding HIV and sexual health. We health volunteers have a lot of work ahead of us.
Love you all
wish me luck on my presentation this Friday.

HUGE SPIDER

I eceived my CBT assignment today and from the sounds of it I´ll be cut off from internet for 5 weeks.....boo. I´ll be in a small campo in Bani. There are 4 of us in the same block so it won´t be bad. Just know that I am safe and probably eating ridiculous amounts of platanos.

funny....

The other night i was on the phone with my mom. It was super late because she was apparently waiting for the vaccum repair person to call her back (i forgive you Alma). Anyway, I´was talking to her while laying under my mosquito net and enjoying my powerful AC (wall mounted fan). Out of the corner of my eye, i see this black thing squirm a little. Guess what it was......that´s right......A HUGE SPIDER! It´s body was the size of a nutter butter and it´s leg span was the length of my hand! It seriously made me freak out. My mom convinced me to wake up my dona by saying, ¨mamitas, spiders are dangerous!¨ Anyway, after waking up my lady, she came down and just looked at the ginormous spider and said ¨no hace nada¨ (doesn´t do anything). Was she kidding?! she could tell i was freaked out so she went and got the broom. She fought the spider by swatting it until it crawled out through the window. The best part of this story is that i had just finished hand washing my ahem....undies and they were hanging in the window slats to dry (common practice here). yup, the same window slats that the spider crawled in through, was swatted against, and crawled out through. say it with me.....HUGE SPIDER 1 , ESPIE 0







Thanks Em for letting me know that UNR beat UNLV.....GO PACK!
