In September I went to a birthday party for a one year old
who was born the day after I arrived in site.

I made a list of some of the things I found this month with
mold on them. I just don’t know how to express that mold attacks truly
everything here. Things with mold on them; Inside of my stainless steel water
bottle, the stickers on the outside of my water bottle, the rubber soles of
brand new Chacos, money (yes, US legal tender is molding), any and all articles
of clothing, books, my plastic dry bag, Tylenol (I opened an individual pill
packet and the pill had blue spots of mold all over it), my headphones, my hammer,
and the tape I put on the handle of my machete. I’m not exaggerating when I say
everything molds.
Below are some pictures of some toucans I saw
eating fruit off a tree right outside my house.
