we had only in outhouse not the Dream Bath room that's for sure lol

In El Salvador I also experienced having an outhouse for a bathroom. lol
We did have a real bathroom put in later on and even though I was only 6 years old I remember it very very well... lol

The bathroom was the size of a bedroom.... it was all concrete. A small concrete wall divided the toilet from the rest of the bathroom. I remember I loved loved taking a shower in that new bathroom.... before that I would take baths in a "pila" - pronounced "peela", a concrete water storage. Looks like this:



My parents would take baths in a bigger one, the size of a pool which was hidden further in the jungle backyard we had :haha:

So I would first have to fill a big bucket... and w/ a small bowl grab water and wet myself. If mornings were too cold... we would have to warm up the water a little first... so the fact that I could just now go to this bathroom and turn on a nob and have water poured down on my head was so facinating to me, I was running around like a chicken with her head cut off.

Lol Carol Before we had a bath room we had a big Bath tub just like the one the Ingalls Had except it was not Wooden it was Metal and then my Parents Bought a Real Bathtub but we did't have room to but it in the House so we always carried inside and outside And We only had Cold Water so we always had to heat water that was anoying but then we moved away from that Place it was really Cool We had a Bathroom Hot Water a Watercloset lol But the other house Was my Parents House the one without the hot water or anything We Still have that house there but last time we were there there were so many mice in there i could't stay there for the night and No Lights it had been cut off I Plan to go to Mexico in the Summer I'll try to Take Lots of Pictuers and then show you all

That would be neat!

What an interesting story, Jacob! And what an interesting family you have!

I didn't know that in Mexico there were people who spoke Low German and studies High german at school near Cuauctemohc! What an experience to live there!

Here in Argentina, we have colonies from people called "White Russians" who actually are German people (they also speaks Low German) who were formerly established in Russia. They came here to the province of Entre Ríos, Misiones and some two others, to make a living and have some land. Their descendance is still here and they are nice people. My great-grandpa was a rural doctor for "White Russians" around 1930, in a little village named Villa Hernández. I knew it and they had a very nice church, very similar to the one you see at LHOTP!!! And their lifestyle is quite similar t the Walnut Grove's one. Of course, now they have TV, Internet and all...They are almost all, Lutheran.

Cool Vanessa Well Some Peopel in mexico Are yet still very against TV & Internet

Some people from Hernandez are against internet! But it is there, anyway!
