First things first. Happy Independence Day to folks back home. I’m celebrating the independence of my country by taking a holiday from it. And oh yeah, go Takeru Kobayashi!
I’ve been in Belize for two days now, and yes, those pesky mosquitos have been feasting on me. Bite Blocker seems only to work during day light hours or when there are less mozzies around. It’s totally fine when I’m soaking up sun on the beach or drinking at the bar. Moz’s do swarm around me, but they don’t bite. Ok, maybe one bite. But that’s it. Come night time, forget about it. Bite Blocker just doesn’t work for me. That’s when the Deet comes in. The 3M Bug Repellent does wonders. The bugs do come but they flee immediately. Gotta love that. The air conditioning in the room keeps the bugs away when I’m asleep, so no complaints there.
I am traveling with Bettina who is also a feast for the mozzies. Perhaps her presence is diverting some of the attention from my juicy skin.
