Ecuadorian Shower.....


Pictured above is a bidet. For those that don't know what a bidet is, please go here.... http://www.bidetoo.com/how-to-use-a-bidet/.

We spent part of the day with a new friend here in Cuenca . She is remodeling a truly wonderful apartment that she has recently purchased. The master bath (bigger than most bedrooms and very elegant) has a bidet. Being a mid-westerner, I haven't seen a bidet and was interested ...... so I enquired.

See the handles in the pic above? It seems the outside handles open up the hot and cold water. The middle handle diverts the water so that it shoots up and does the business a bidet does.


Well, apparently our hostess was as inexperienced as myself. However she was a good sport and offered to show us how it worked. So, she leaned over the bidet and turned on the left and right handle. Do you see where this is going?

Now in the picture above, it would seem that the water is adjusted about right. Maybe her bidet is some type of bidet on steroids or something. You gotta be able to see where this is going now.

Remember the part about her leaning over the bidet.....the bidet on steroids. Well, yes, she did turn the center handle.

We are calling it an Ecuadorian shower. Gave the ceiling a pretty good scrubbing, too.

Our hostess is a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. She laughed harder than we did.

The cleanup was left to the remodeling crew.

Yet another day in paradise.

  2. That is hilarious. I had a similar experience at Yellowstone. I am enjoying following your adventure. It seems like you both are having a great time.

    P.S. You may have stumbled across the next great sport....."Ecuadorian Butt Surfing". Just a thought. And remember practice makes perfect.

  3. Now I know how my partner is spending her time, giving bidet lessons. There is more water coming out of the bidet then in the rivers here in the Hill Country of south-central Texas, where I am stuck renovating another property of ours when recently bought. Glad she has found some friends, particularly with the same weird sense of humor. -Norm
