Picture posted yesterday made you a little jealous,or at least envious correct? And it should, a beautiful beach missing only one thing: your butt parked on it with a drink in your hand.
A friendly reminder of that view:
And so it was with a little "eat your heart out" that we posted that picture...
Cue the music, there is trouble in paradise!
Yesterday on our stroll, something nibbled on me. No surprise, we are in nature and are not alone. No big deal.
Weekend visitors cleared out so my bride and I went to the beach to enjoy it all to ourselves...
Little did we know we were on the menu and our beach walk lasted 5 minutes, tops. Here they are called dog flies. My name for them can not be said/typed in mixed company. Let me say this, they will eat you alive. Mary went yelling from the beach covered in the heathens. No, I did not laugh as I was too busy slapping and cussing. Not a big problem at the campsite, but around. Traveling is about learning and boy did we learn something that I never dreamed of.
