Latrine

So you know when sometimes you've just got to...go?  






Indoor plumbing is a luxury that much of the world has no daily access to.  Running water and the supplies needed for a flushing toilet are just not available to many people all around the world.  While in Bohoc, I experienced what life is like with the reality of latrines.  Honestly, it was a relief to find that a dug hole in the ground serves as a perfectly simple solution to the problem of human waste.  

Additionally, I found that the gravity-fed outdoor showers work quite well, and also provide some pretty beautiful views!  





So, while things like bathroom use and showering may be a little silly to write about, I just had to celebrate the ways in which cultures without access to all of our "modern conveniences" have simple and workable solutions to daily needs.  It makes me wonder how many of these supposed conveniences aren't actually taking away from a more simple, more beautiful life experience.
