Tarantula

A few days ago we drove in to Talanga pick-up the final two volunteers from the airport. On that very same night as we prepared to go to bed, we were startled to hear Mike calmly proclaim that there was a gigantic spider above his bed. Upon further collaboration and conversation, we agreed that there was, in fact a fairly-sized tarantula above Mike’s bed. One thing lead to another, and we now have a new mascota (pet). The video is very Crocodile hunter-esque.

**As a side note, a week later we ended up (after much persuasion from the locals) killing the tarantula (by chopping it in half with a machete (by yours truly (video to come)).
