The idea that we are living in the third world is not enough on top of it we have active volcanoes, and scorpions in our house. Fuego was active while Mike was here and it was quite amazing. Most nights Gavin shouts at the volcano, Wake Up volcano, Wake Up!" I of course hope the complete opposite. The Tailess Whip scorpion was absoulutely the worst thing the leg span was about 5.5 inches and the pinchers were scary. Luckily we had dinner guests over which sounds weird but my friends husband, who in actuality is acranaphobic helped get it from under our table. I did not sleep well that night as one can guess. Luckily we discovered they are nonvenoumus and we are a safe distance from Fuego!
