Did your pastor tell about the rest rooms? I don't know about the men's room, but for the ladies, there was a hole in the floor, no seat, you had to hit that hole in the floor. At one place (maybe an airport) they had just remodeled. I said it was a nice hole in the floor, all tiled, but it was still a hole in the floor.

Emma, That really is antiquated...I'm surprised they only had that. However, that was some time ago...so maybe they have better facilities now. ~J in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roses" <[email protected]> To: "southern-chat" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 4:41 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Travels..
