In case you wonder what the facilities look like in village, we thought we would share our latrine with you. When we asked the village mason to make our hole a bit bigger, he went ahead and constructed this masterpiece out of cement. I think there is probably something wrong yet symbolic about poo'ing on/through an eagle, but who knows. He is pretty proud of his work of art, and we get to admire it on a regular (sometimes too regular) basis.
So next time you sit on your porceline throne, think of us and our eagle.

Wow that is very symbolic, just be sure not to miss target. I will take a picture of my spectacular toilet at work, which not only has a heated adjustable pressure controll as sprayer but also a heated seat which adjusts the water level when you sit and vents air inward to deodorize your pride and joy.
Wow, sounds like a real adventure! Matt and I had a big adventure recently. Although not quite African farmers markets, 25k bike rides or eagle shaped latrines, but we painted and redesigned and organized the pantry last weekend, it's a whole new world now, not quite as new as the world you're in, but still pretty awesome (kind of like Narnia, really). Speaking of eagles we're going eagle watching this weekend at a CCC lodge in Illinois, should be cool! We're having our indoor plumbing replaced, so we have some holes in the wall and a big mess. Your latrine reminds me to appreciate the ability to replace our ancient plumbing/pathetic water pressure shower all the more! Stay healthy and stay brave!

so every time you come out of the bathroom do you proudly exclaim, "the eagle has landed!"
