Day Sixteen

Today has been a lazy, foggy day.  Robb has been busy working on calls and emails as we are going to be travelling for the next two days.  I don't know if I'll be able to do the blog while travelling, but I'll catch you up when we get back.

I have just been wandering around the house and thought that I would show you some of the funny things that are so different from the way things are done in the US.  Here is photographs of the faucet in the master bathroom.  The bathtub and bidet are done in exactly the same way which could cause a bit of an ouch in some cases.

This is a "mixed water tap" meaning that the cold and hot water are in the same faucet instead of having separate ones which is the norm over here.  But if you turn off either the hot or cold you can see that the water isn't really mixed at all but it comes in on it's side of the faucet.

This is with just the cold water on.  You can put your hands under the water and be burned and chilled at the same time.  In the tub the foot on the left side gets burned from the hot water while your other foot freezes from the cold.  Most people over here, plug the sink and fill it with water rather than let it go down the drain like we do.  I am sure that they use less water, but you have to remember to wait.  I do worry about the Bidet though, tender spot to burn.

In the bathroom that Robb uses it has a stall shower.  But the wonderful thing about this shower is that it is

ELECTRIC-

Yes, you read that correctly.  In order for the shower to work there is a ceiling pull that must be turned on.  Now I was always told that water and electricity were a bad mix, but here it makes for a wonderful, hot shower.

I took a couple of photo's of our near neighbors, but unfortunately, I didn't have any carrots or apples and felt like a heal when they started coming over to where we had parked.  The baby is about six weeks old.

Hope your day is as relaxing as mine has been.

Love to all,

Dawn
