Shower?

We thought we would dedicate this post to Marina's comment about showering, although we don't know if you can qualify what we've been doing as "a shower". It's a long and complicated procedure so we'll break it down into steps.
step 1: We removed all our clothes and of course locked the two padlocks on the door to our room (there are five total; one on each gate, one on the entrance to the building, and two on our bedroom door).
step 2. We proceeded into the big empty room (originally a dorm room, now occupied by wasps) carrying one bucket full of water and two empty buckets.
step 3. We splashed water on our whole bodies and then lathered with soap (this is best done in daylight because the nights can be quite cold (just like the water)...although, there's a big open window so we have to bend down so the girls can't see us, which they probably do because they spend 80% of their days waiting outside our window calling our names).
step 4. we dunked our entire heads in one of the buckets and then scrubbed with shampoo.
step 5. next we splashed more water on ourselves in an attempt to wash off some off the soap that was now dried on our bodies (this step will never be repeated because all it accomplished was to get water all over the floor and somehow make us even more soapy)
step 6. we had to fetch another bucket of water because we realized that we'd have to use one bucket to pour over each of us to get off all the soap. by the end of all this, the floor was practically a small lake.
*side note: a lizard just crawled in our window, luckily we're safe in the misquito net.
step 7. then, with our newly cleaned bodies, one by one we layed down on the floor with our heads in an empty bucket while the other one poured water all over eachother's hair and face. this was probably the hardest step, although eric nazaar would appreciate the great core workout we got while doing it.
step 8. realizing that we had left both our towels in our room, we had to run stark naked passed the open windows where, of course, some girls were peaking inside, and unlock our double padlock.
all in all, a great time. we're becoming showering masters, though, and learning how to condense this process.
