It sounds like a nice spread for a children's book. How the young girl went flying with the help of Mosquitoes :)

Yes, in the summer. Mosquitoes and heat is not a good combination. There were hundreds of a lot of mosquitoes. There were so many that I could tie them, and take me to fly like a balloon.

It sounds fantastic, but it also sounds like you had a lot of mosquitoes there. I really prefer the forrest over the ocean, but I am amazed by its habitants and the small mysteries the water reveals...

I've lived near a mangrove. In fact, it was practically inside the mangrove. When the tide lowered, a lot of crabs skirt walking in my backyard. I really love the coastal ecosystem. Although I have hydrophobia. :) Ps: Yes, I bathe.
