Latrine

The bathrooms here – not called cadillacs, like they had been at “the Deid” – they were just restrooms. Each one was the same size ‘trailer’ size that our rooms were – only there was a door halfway back. The front had two sit downs, two urinals, and a sink. The back had 4 sinks, 4 mirrors, 2 showers, and a 250 gallon water heater. It was huge – absolutely the largest water heater I had seen, ever. The showers are tiny, though. It seemed as if there was barely enough room inside to stand. Again, make due – it’s not for long, I reminded myself.

I decided to set myself up showering at night and shaving in the morning. Since I had cut my hair pretty close before I left – there was nothing to brush in the morning. Also, having a heavy beard as I do, shaving at night wouldn’t work – or I would be shaving twice a day, which I had no desire to do. So my first night I went and showered around 8 or 9. This seemed fine as the bathroom wasn’t too busy. So I had myself a schedule. I went back to the room, relaxed a bit with my iPod and was off to sleep.
