Euro Toilets


Morning All,


Brett Favre is a Jet???? What? Sorry I just had to get that out there as I cant really keep up with the inns and outs of pro football and I am just confused right now.


So one thing that continues to throw me for a loop while I scoot around this crazy continent is the toilets. Yes the toilets. So the basic fundamentals of use are all self explanatory (if not then we would have real issues), but then the challenge shows up when it comes to flushing. I dont think I have come across a single toilet in my time here which has a flusher handle in the standard place. Wierd. Look, for example, and the following picture. You may ask yourself "self...where does one flush such a toilet" and after searching and testing various things it turns out it is the square above the toilet. Who knew?


In other news, things here at the base have been great and we have had things to do every day. The shed we were working on is now washed and sanded down, and we are waiting for it to dry as we had some rainfall yesterday. We also moved a bunch of stuff yesterday which is never fun but always fun at the same time. Anyway I hope you guys are good and getting amped about the Olympics...USA! USA! USA!

Hey buddy,

Looks like you are having a great adventure. I hope your confusion with the toilets has not meant that you're not using them.

We're missing you in DC but excited to hear more about your travels.
