We take a walk
through the mangrove-rimmed courtyard.
Oh, the mosquitos!

LOL! Nicely done. Mosquitos are the state bird of Maine! (not really but sometimes they seem that big!)

Thanks for your kind words!

It is true that some sorts of mosquitos can become quite numerous in a localized area. They are those troublesome critters, for example, that workmen had to powder the swamps to eradicate in order to allow completion of the Panama Canal.

kat, I know that northern mosquios tend to be larger but not nearly as swarming---still can be a terrible nuisance especially in the back country.

Amaryllis, nobody expects "the Spanish Inquisition" the first time around, else they would buy and wear something with DEET, I guess.

Bill, thanks for the sound effects, and yes the scenery was (is) pretty - just not quite so much while being mugged by thousands of skeeters.
