In Hot Water
For the last month or so, showering has been a problem.
Oh, we have water flowing, unlike when I first moved in.
The problem is that it's cold water and, if you can believe it, the weather is also cold. It makes it very difficult to shower!
Until...
I met a Ghanaian woman living in Virginia at the internet cafe. She was surprised I would want to live here and asked if I have a tv and a/c (no, no).
I hate to admit I didn't think of what she later suggested on my own.
It's so obvious. So simple.
And sooooo blissful.
Boil hot water and add it to make warm water, then take a good ole bucket bath.
Ahhhhh, now I can happily and warmly be clean!

boy am I glad I'm no longer in africa :) not that I had problems of such nature at the indo, mind.
that HIV story was pretty interesting.. even in 'the west', bareback riding is still an issue, I reckon.

Silly Jill, this is what we did when the water wasn't coming! Do we have a water tank yet?
