Cockroaches? No problem! Ants? No problem! High Temperature? High Humidity? Geckos clicking all night? No Problem! If those were all we had to worry about we'd be fine, but it's the mosquitoes that are starting to get to us! This morning, Ashley counted 37 bites on her legs and that was probably an underestimate...As you'll see below, it's pretty bad (notice the bruised area...that's actually a bite). As we are typing this, we are taking turns applying benadryl cream for insect bites. I also received a few bites that produced bruising, however, my legs are far less good-looking and I didn't want to gross all of you out.
If any of you readers out there have any tips for preventing mosquito bites or just making the itching go away, please contact us (bkc5 at utah dot edu)! We are getting desparate here and if it continues like this for much longer we may become a giant mosquito bite with eyes/nose/and a mouth...so please, please, HELP!

Until next time (that is, if the mosquitoes don't put an early end to our 6 month "vacation"),
Ben & Ashley
