Bzzz

Buzzz...I really love nature and unlike my younger self have come to appreciate long hikes, grueling treks, etc. However, it is still hard for me to get past spiders, spider webs, and insects. I just really dislike the feeling on my skin and bugs that are crawling on me. Call me a wimp, whatever, that is just how it is.

Today, I returned to Parque Nacional de los Alerces and went hiking. The first hike was supposed to be to a Waterfall...however I only saw a waterfall from about 75 feet above on a cliff. During this hike I was followed by an insect. At first this buzzing kept flying around my head..doing circles over and over again, I thought it was a bee so I picked up my pace and tried to out walk it. No luck, it kept on trekking along with me and flying around my face, over and over. Thus, I decided to run. I sprinted for about a good minute, thinking surely this bug will leave me alone. But alas, no it kept on flying around my head and trying to land. Uhh, I was getting annoyed and I must admit kind of scared. I did not know if this was an attack from Bees or what. SO I continued sprinting and no luck, after 5 minutes the thing came back to my head!

I finally ran enough so that the thing left me, however more of them followed me through out the day. That was the only bummer of the day. The rest of it was nice and tranquil. The lakes around the park reminded me a lot of Liguria, with a green blue water against rocks. I wish I had brought my swimming suit because everyone was at the little beach hanging out.
