I realize that poop can be an odd topic of conversation for some people; however, most of you reading this know about my digestive issues in some capacity. For the rest of you, it’ll be okay. Everybody poops 🙂
While I realize that constipation is not really a good thing, you might understand after looking at these pictures. When we arrived at our host family house, we saw this sign on the bathroom that says “ojo solo urinario”(look only urine). So, where do you go to poop? To the back of the yard is the poop house. Which doesn’t sound too bad; except for the fact that it has rained nearly every day. Just look at this path to get there…..
So if you made up through the puddles in the yard and up the muddy incline to the bathroom there was a 20% chance that you could flush the toliet after using it. Yes, that means you were likely to go on top of someone else’s stuff, GAross!!
What did you do when the toliet was broken beyond use? When the water didn’t go down. If you coudln’t hold it in you would “give back to nature”. This meant that you took a shovel, dug a hole in the back yard, pooped in it and then covered back up. However, the ants in the backyard did not approve of this as demonstrated by multiple bug bites on my butt.
You can’t tell me that you honestly thought I would be gone for 11 months and not blog about the bathrooms and/or bowel movements 🙂
