Sunday, April 27 continued
Dinner was a buffet. But they had fresh pasta - tried a bite - delicious. After dinner, we took a lot of night pictures while experimenting with the settings on digital cameras. We tried taking shots with a waterfall but there was so much steam from the waterfall that the pictures looked as if we were surrounded by ghostly beings. We spent almost all of our time after dinner taking pictures.
Our first real adventure started with the night at our hotel...there were three of us in a room on the first floor and four on the second floor. In our room, we opened the windows because the night was so warm. Along with the smell of cow, we also got moths coming in. At first I thought it was a butterfly because of its colored wings, but it turned out to be just a big moth. Diana killed it when it landed in the narrow space between Sharon's bed and the wall. I was so proud of her because she didn't scream but just whacked it with a shoe. While rummaging through my luggage, I killed a spider on instinct. Bam, no thought. So now the two of us had each killed something..now it was Sharon's turn. Cockroach in the bathroom. No one wanted to get rid of it. We tried enlisting the help of our friends upstairs. However, when we got up there, they were lying in the dark, trying to avoid bugs themselves. Finally, Sharon killed the cockroach. The slaugher was accompanied by three piercing screams (from, I think, both Sharon and Diana) which the upstairs heard very clearly. Where was I? Perched near the bed because they had used my shoe (wrapped in a plastic bag) to kill the bug. Oh, the drama that night. Going to bed, we were all a little uneasy, especially since we found a dead bug in Sharon's bed. ugh...
Story of dead bug in bed: Because I had found a spider in my luggage, we decided to zip up our luggage and put them on one side of Sharon's queen-sized bed. A pillow was in the way so to unlumpify that side of the bed, Di went to move the pillow. Suddenly she let out a shreik - dead bug under the bedspread. Yuck!
