Today I took the time to stop for a few minutes to enjoy this beautiful place. I had it all to myself . I listened to the birds and the wind. For a while I admired two butterflies dancing in front of me. I am grateful for this beautiful moment in time. What are you grateful for today?

It’s been wonderful to follow your stay in Hamburg.

OFF Family Care spray, which is 7% DEET, lasts about 2 hours, so a fairly mild dose. It is less risky than tick-borne disease, definitely the lesser of two evils. I spray legs and arms mostly, but once black flies start, around my face and neck hairline, too. Works well (I still do full-body checks after I come inside, not taking any chances).
There was a vaccine for Lyme, but it got pulled, still encumbered by bureaucracy and politics, sadly. It is a real problem here in the northeast and midwest particularly. Unfortunately, we are now up to 14 tick-borne diseases, Lyme being only one, enough to make one paranoid!
