Here is a view of the street we live off of. The only paved road in the area.
Our "house" is a conglomeration of sheds or lean-to like structures put together to form several rooms. Amanda and I have a small room at the side of the house - there IS electricity and a toilet that sort of flushes, but no electricity in the toilet area - a lightbulb on a cord has to be drug into the area and hung up when needed. The shower, isn't. There is a stall with a hole in the floor for a drain (this serves as a sink too, since there is no sink), but there is no running water in the area water. Water is brought into the stall via a bucket. We have to help each other wash our hair it is pretty difficult with a bucket, in minimal light
and of course, one of us stays on the lookout for the spider the size of my palm who has it's home in the stall and also for the large roaches that race around the top.
