He wanted to take a photo of me being swarmed.

Even though it would have resulted in years of hearing how evil I was, I sooooooooooooo wish I had taken that photo!

Of course, since I was being swarmed, too, the photo of you probably wouldn't have turned out because there were flies all around me, blocking out the view!

Ah, good times! It really was a fun day...except for those flies!

I still feel like swatting you for even suggesting it, Christopher :P Heheh. Yeah, I don't know how you would've taken the photo. It would've have been interesting to see if one even turned out thanks to the huge cloud of flies swarming us.

Except for that little moment, it was a great day

I was in Sri Lanka recently and they recommend an Ayurvedic preparation - citronella oil, prepared from a distillate of the skins of oranges and lemons. It smells a bit acrid (as well as of oranges / lemons) but it works like a charm!
