More bugs!

Lst night we had a wierd bug episode. Just before going to bed I noticed that there were about 1,000 or more ants of all sizes in the hallway of our cabin here at Hogar Infantil. Luckily, this hallway just leads to the space where we´re storing all our stuff, but it adjoins to the room in which we´re sleeping! I was a little freaked out to say the least, and Neto said ¨maybe it´s going to rain¨ (so this is what we have to look forward to ever time it´s going to rain?!?!) He put a lining of soapy water around the perimeters of where they were and taped up the door leading to the sleeping area, so I could actually sleep! I still thought I heard the tape unsticking all night long, but I actually slept pretty well, considering. I´d never seen anything like it so I think there was something baromitically(?) funky, because in the morning they were all gone! Wierd, but all I can say is at least they weren´t something like snakes or scorpions (we found a tiny snake a couple weeks ago in the same area of the house, but it was a baby - not even as big as an earthworm, and a non-poisonous variety. We´re also seen a couple scorpions. Just part of the Mexico experience!) Just thought I´d throw that little story in for fun...

I hope everyone at home is well - we think and talk about all of you so much (Happy Birthday to Issac last Saturday!). Take care - I´ll write more later this week.
Love, Katie
