The Facilities

Isn’t it surprising how much time we spend discussing things having to do with bodily functions? Sometimes traveling really does boil down to the basics. We thought we’d share a picture of the “facilities” at Santipac campground. It’s a two-holer toilet shack, but one doesn’t have a door, which sort limits its’ utility except for middle-of-the-night, but it’s too far from our Chalet for that. The blue barrel is full of water and some sort of sweet-smelling antiseptic additive, and when one wants to “go”, you take a bucket and fill the toilet tank, and then flush. It works. Our outside Chalet shower with portable tent for privacy continues to work very well; we now have that system down so it’s easy, and since the outside air temperature is warm, Cathryn hasn’t complained about bathrooms since last Sunday.
