NUMB all over

Buenas! Today I am on my way back from a lovely stay at a beach called San Juan del Sur. I stayed at this beautiful house that a friend of a friend owns. It was nice to just sit around, swim in a pool overlooking the ocean, eat healthy, and hang-out with a few other volunteers. However, as I was packing my bag today, I had a little visitor hanging out on my towel, a scorpion! and it stung my belly! It felt like a bee sting and was a bit swollen. The strange thing is that my tongue is still numb,and it happened this morning. I took some meds and put on some topical cream, no worries mom! But ek! I will be shaking my things out from now on!

    Hola Christine!
    We like the idea of pen pals! We can't wait to receive our first letters! We are so sorry about the scorpion bite, that must've hurt!
    We are curious if you saw any of the Olympics... do you have TV access there? Have you had any visitors? (besides the scorpion :-)

    Hola Christine!
    We think it's so cool that you're volunteering your time to help. We think that the ideas of pen pals is really interesting. We have a few questions for you! How was the beach there? Was it similar to the one in Wilmette? Is the beach close to your house? How's the weather there? Can't wait to hear back from you!
