My Home away from Home!

Pascal like many local home owners rarely, if ever paints. Many homes are made of rough hard wood lumber. This wood is amazingly hard and resists threats like Termites as long as it is exposed to the sunlight. It lacks any kind of indoor plumbing or electrically. If you want a bath the river is right out front. Light is provided by Kerosene lamps or candles. Cooking is done on house.gif (89215 bytes) propane stoves, or charcoal. It can not be shown here, but the inside is very open with little furniture. Hammocks are slung in almost every room in the house for the night. It is kept very clean, and the rough boards have become smooth with washing and sweeping. Even though at least 12 people live here, there is always room. Strangers are always welcomed with great courtesy.
