Here I experienced what it means to live in a plague of mosquitoes. Departure felt like a liberation.
At long last I found one, and I was ushered in a room where one of the few lights of the town were on, it was dark red in order not to attract too many insects. I could hardly see what I was eating, but at least I was eating! And I had to eat rapidly in order not to swallow mosquitoes. That night, I used an anti-insect repellent, or rather, I used four at the time. The next morning, I woke up in a bed and a room full of hundreds of dead chayules. When the boat finally pulled out of the San Carlos port the next morning, it almost felt like a liberation.
