I was up this

I was up this morning at 6 AM for a run. I noticed when I was that the ants had swarmed last night. Usually they only do that once a year, and that was over a month ago. These ants must have been confused. These are leaf cutter ants, and they swarm when they are looking for a new home. Back in August when I was in Makuma, I had the chance to eat some fried ants. I managed to get down about ten before I called it quits! Each ant is about an inch long.

Dustin slept on the back porch in the hammock. I know I couldn't have done it, but he stayed out there the whole night. If it had been me, I wouldn't have been able to stand up this morning.
