Flying termites and tuna jerky

so i am pretty sure that i will continue to be plagued by bugs my entire stay in africa. some people get sick, i guess i just get bugs. I woke up earlier this week to my floor being covered in flying termites. they are pretty good size bug and i guess loose their wings quickly, so i had wings and termites crawling all over my floor. it was great to wake up to. thank god I duck tape my mosquito net to the floor or else i would have had termites in my bed this time. in other news i had dried fish for the first time this week and the only thing i can think to compare it to would be if some one made tuna jerky. it was quite a nice change of pace. i think i like tuna jerky. I officially find out my site on wednesday and will be sworn in as a volunteer a week from this wednesday!!!!!! only a few more days of training and host fams and not being able to cook for myself!!!!!

  1. Lizzie do you know what i would do if i woke up with my floor coverted in termites? I would never leave my bed with the safety of the net around it. The host family would probably be a little curious about me not being around after the first day. hehe remember us talking about you bringing enough bug spray? Well I dont think you did!!!! <3 tina
