What’s worse than ants in your pants? Ants in your care
package food. I walked into my room one evening to find a trail of ants
crawling up and into box of food my family and friends had generously sent me.
I thought I had done a good job of putting everything into zip-loc baggies, but
the ants had eaten their way through those. So, looking around at my limited
resources, I emptied out my Pelican case where I usually keep my satellite
phone and solar charger, and put all of the food in there instead. Sometimes,
goodies from home are more important than technology.
Greetings from San Diego! I wish we could trade places, Rachel. I've been out here wondering how people are doing back home and reading your posts made me absolutely homesick. Hope you enjoy the island with all its beauty and everything else. You'll miss the simple life once you get back to L.A. I was born and raised there and went away for high school, college, and off to the Marines. Thank you so much for choosing Ettal as your home and hope you have the best time of your life there. If you ever need anything, please do let me know and I'll see what I can do. You can email me: hreuney@gmail.com - if you are still there,I'll send what I think you'll need in order to minimize the boredom to a minimum. I know exactly how it feels. Just let me know. Best, Elden aka "Broke" as they call me back home.
