sweet dreams sans beetles

Introducing my bedroom.

Please note the standard Peace Corps issued bug net in fashionable yellow.
Here I am in bed, 
demonstrating how pleasant it is to be wrapped in this cocoon of protection 
against all bugs both carriers and non-carriers of disease 
however all are perpetrators of fear mongering.

There are no words to fully express 
the feeling of safety 
that washes over me while lying in the dark 
and hearing the beetles, BANG and BUZZ against the net. 
It has been explained to me 
this beetle occupation is due to the start of rainy season. 
The beetles have taken over northern Morazan but not my sleeping space. 
HA!
