An Evening Stroll

Björskogsnäs, August 1, 2008

At about 9 P.M. last night Mr. L., Jay and I decided to go to a nature reserve called Björskogsnäs.

It was supposed to be a nice stroll in the evening, getting to enjoy the beautiful scenery. And we were prepared with lots of mosquito repellent. But as it turned out, even though the mosquitoes didn’t bite, they singled Mr. L out and chased him down (or so he claims). So the stroll quickly turned in to a power walk/run. Great!

Back at the car Mr. L all of a sudden said “shit, I have a tick crawling on my pants”… and shortly thereafter we found several ticks on his pants. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! How freakn disgusting is that??!!! I found one tick on my pants and about 10 more on Mr. L. Found several on James too that were still crawling around… so damn nasty (the reason why Mr. L and Jay had so many were because they had taken the lead during our walk/run). Back at home it was clothes off, clothes in the washer and humans in the shower.

This must be the worst tick season ever….:( Below are more pics from Björskogsnäs.
