Nicaraguan friend´s


, originally uploaded by m_hagen.

This morning I found the second scorpion in as many weeks here in Nicaragua. The first one we found our first night down at Playa Gigante. Heading in to take a shower and rinse the road grime off myself I nearly stepped on our first friend. I asked Hedda if she wanted a look at the little guy. She did and then I quickly smacked him out with a sandal. This second one must have stowed away in my boardbag or backpack to Granada. I pulled on my shorts this morning and felt something scratching my back. I instinctually swiped him off and then Hedda yelled out ¨scorpion¨. He must have been slowed down from the rooms A/C which saved my ass from getting stung!
