It's road trip season.
The last time my friend and I hit the road, I made the mistake of wearing flip-flops into a rainforest. While pretending to be a National Geographic photographer, I unknowingly stood on an anthill and got fire ant bites all over my feet. My toes swelled up so much I could barely walk out of the forest.
This trip, when she picked me up, I was armed with insect repellent and a camouflage hat with mosquito netting. Of course, I'm still not wearing proper footwear, but I'll definitely watch out for fire ants. The little purple flower photo I took last time wasn't worth the bites!
