Thanks for sharing ! I especially love the pictures of the valley, and seeing where and how you live (love the washer and your "working outfits"!).

That spider, was it around your cabin ?

Hahaha, everyone hates the spider and that isn't even the biggest one we've had!! It was in our cabin, right above the sink - just hanging out on the screen! I actually saw our first snake today when I was turning a compost pile...our host said it may have been an immature coral snake because of the size and coloring. We'll see a lot more wildlife this weekend when we go to the National Park!

Amber... live from CR ! Hi there !

I saw in a documentary that the most dangerous snakes and scorpions are the smallest, because due to their size their venom has to be more "efficient"... Well, wouldn't want to walk by a cobra either...

hey guys, just so you know . . .

apparently there is some urban legend out there that says that a person will eat an average of 8 spiders a year while they sleep.

take it or leave it, but its definitely an argument to sleep with duct tape over your mouth or something

Yeah, I read that somewhere. But what I read was the number of spiders that creep down your throat in a lifetime. I can't remember the #, but it was fucking crazy

^^ Do you think that could be the reason of my stomachache?? Hahaha I doubt it... I haven't seen a spider in ages, so that numer could be a bit big for me (8 in a month). Actually I had never heard of that *urban legend*.

I don't wanna go to sleep now!!
Hahaha
