Well, Judy, I have to confess that I did find something that looked suspiciously like a mosquito bite on my arm as I was showering this morning. Maybe there was one mosquito flying around down there. And Wakana woke with many small red marks on her that we could not identify. She's the only one who did not sleep in a hammock. She used an air mattress and slept on the outrigger of the canoe.

Wakana found the whole experience fascinating. Apparently in Japan men do not form friendships outside of their corporations and when they gather they only talk about work. That night she saw men who were long time friends from different walks of life talking of many things but not of their jobs. It was another illustration of how different our cultures are.
