I looked at the picture on my camera. With no perspective, it could have been a tiny Massachusetts spider! I wanted to use my hand to show perspective, but I was afraid to put my hand that close to the spider.
I ran inside and fetched my machete. In the process of ripping the machete out of its case, I cut my finger but ignored the blood in order to finish with my photography project.
I took another picture. Still, the perspective was off because it is impossible to know how larget the machete is. It could be a butter knife.
Aha! I taped a dollar bill to the end of the machete to take a proper spider picture with perspective. I retired to my house, bloody finger and all, content with my night's accomplishments.
Belli, Since I am reading your blog regularly and consider(ed) myself a friend of yours I feel I should comment to let you know that I am reading your blog and am interested in it. Your work over in Panama is really special. You are indeed a great person. I just have one question: If your such a great person how could you omit your best friends blog from your "Other Panama PCV Blogs in the Comarca" section. whoa. whoa. whoa. http://scottmortensen.blogspot.com/
