Hey Culligan Man!
During Christmastime a water pipe broke in the city. This left parts of the city without water. Basically what this means for me is that the process of taking a shower and going to the bathroom, etc. is a bit more difficult. The process of number 2 is already kind of complicated because the plumbing can´t handle toilet paper much so you wrap it up and put it in the trashcan. You never realize how much you need water until you don´t have it. I haven´t taken a shower since last Wednesday and washed my hair this morning with 4 small glasses of bottled water. No joke. It´s a good thing that I naturally smell terrific. However things could be worse. If I wake up early in the morning, say around 4 or so there is enough water to shower with, but it looks like it will be a few more days before this is fixed and water is restored to all parts of the city.

Here’s a fun way to realize how unknowingly dirty you’ve been the whole time you’ve been down there. When you come back home, take a bath, not a shower. When you drain the tub you’ll see that you’ve left a “ring o’ filth”. That’s what’s been on your body all along because of the less than optimal showering in Guat.

I’m sure you are smelling “naturally” terrific right now! I loved Jim’s comments above!
