scorpions....

i just wanted to let you all know that i killed my first scorpion the other day! i was scared to death (even though it was small, about the size of a dime) because it's still a scorpion and the first time i've ever really seen one that wasn't in a cage. it was just crawling on my wall, so i smashed it with my shoe and left it there to show my host family because i knew they wouldnt believe me otherwise. its definately my biggest accomplishment for the week!!

as a side note, i was actually cold this morning....that is a first for me here!
