Fields of Joy

It seems like everybody in our house (in the middle of the street! la, la, la) is getting bit by skeeters at night, not just me. This girl staying with us named Petra has come up with a solution that kinda works. Keyword there being "kinda". She says that when she hears them buzzing by her ear while she asleep she immediately grabs her headlamp and shines it on the wall closest to her. This usually reveals the culprit. And then...

WHAM!

WHAM!

WHAM!

Ha ha ha! Dead skeeter blood all over the walls. It kind of turns into all night attempt at genocide, but its worth not waking up with itchy bites.

Pretty much every where we go, most of problems seem to be rated V10.

"Hey Walker, this problem looks cool. How hard is it?"
"V10. Its really cool though."
"Oh. What about this one? It looks sorta chill."
"That's a Fred Nicole project. Nalle what's-his-name got super close last season. People are saying is rated V25."
"...Yay."

After complaining about this issue for some time now, we were told that an area called Fields of Joy is supposed to have a bunch of fun moderates. We went today and checked it out only to be scorched by the intense African sun. It was still super fun. We hopped a bunch of fun stuff and ended up actually completing some rock climbs! Crazy huh? I'll get names of the problems later. We weren't with anyone who knew the area that well, so we just got stuff that looked fun.

  3. Really fun to read your blog. I hadn't been keeping up, so read all of your posts just now. Your trip sounds amazing, except for the mosquitos, that part's "dumb". I hate mosquitos. Get rid of all those bloodsuckers so my trip will be bug-free. Keep posting! Unless it's about boners . . .
