War Zone- Carlie



Athens and my feet/ankles look like they have been in a war….. and we are not winning.  The mosquitoes seem to only like that part of our body, and seem to bite the most there.  I have gotten bit even on the bottom of my foot!!  We try and not scratch, but the bites will not be ignored!! It takes us a good hour to fall asleep at night because we end up having to spend time scratching our feet!  And once you scratch one bite, you have to scratch them all, and it ends up being a viscous cycle that we can’t seem to break.  The really bad bites that itch like crazy we like to say are malaria bites.  So at the moment I have about 4 malaria bites and counting!!  (For those who don’t know, this really isn’t a sign of Malaria.  We both sleep under a mosquito net, and put 100% deet on.  But Malaria is very prominent here and I am sure I will be getting it again.)
