Yeah, botfly sounds horrible. I got bit a lot around those parts and the entire time just asking Brian, “Do you think this is going to be botfly?!” I’ve never tried talking to them, haha, but maybe next time… if there is a next time! The whole time we were there, I was just like what am I doing here?! During the day was awesome, but when the sun went down it was totally different for me. Bugs are really, really, really not my thing

Wow – Looks awesome! I will say though, you looked very nervous..But you made it through! I have a trick that works w/ spiders – maybe it will work for you. I discovered this in a house i live in that had tons of spiders all the time, no matter what. I basically realized they just wanted to be warm at night like us and so started talking to them when I saw them and it became like a little peaceful kingdom. They knew they could stay only in the respective areas and they never came into the bedrooms, etc. It worked out really well. it was like they understood that they could stay warm but there were rules and then they never tried to chase us or leave their little areas. I know it sounds crazy but it really works! Try it!! Just make peace w/ them and they won’t bother you. They don’t really want to eat you, they just want a nice place to hang their hat for a while.
That place looked really fun though!!

I can understand….Botflys are not fun. I got one in my head in Costa Rica. I thought I was dying since nobody in the States knew what it was. I can´t wait until we make it to the jungle. Casey just loves spiders …LOL
