Day Twelve

Woke up to monkeys climbing around the trees next to our camp. After breakfast of pinneapples we all headed out to cut down thatch for roof material. Watching Omallavie cut down the trees with the ax was quite a sight. The forest around where we were cutting trees was super-dense and served as a subtle reminder of just what exactly surrounded us on all sides.
Found a bite on my leg that looked in the first stages of what could be a staph infection. Drew a circle around it to monitor any growth.
After work, Conan headed with Otobo and the others to the family compound thus allowing Joe and I to dip into our bag ol´goodies (i.e. our secret stash of food and candy).
Bugs are starting to get bad and I have began using repellent fairly regularly. Also, have been smoking fires in the house to keep out the mosquitos.
