Yay! Yay! It's Banya Day!
For those of you who don't know what that is or why it is so exciting, it means a BATH!
The top picture is of our banya. This is where we scrub ourselves clean every 3-4 days. The picture on the right is inside the banya. There are two rooms. One for dressing/undressing, and one for getting clean. We heat water on a wood stove as you can see in the picture. There is also a tub of cold water. You mix the two levels of heated water in smaller buckets and ..... you have it! Warm water to bath with. The water comes from a creek that runs nearby into the ocean. So yes, it is bath day and we are all feeling fine!
