Messages from Big Island, Hawaii, in Japanese and English
Telephone conferences continued till today, and I really needed to swim.
I drove to the ocean by having a bad feeling because I was driving there nearly noon. In the parking, I asked the couple who just came out of the water. “Was the shower working?” The couple told me in unison, “No.” It means no water, no flush toilets, and no shower. OK. I had to be ready. I walked down, and went into one of the portable toilets located near the ocean. “WOOO!” I jumped out from the one, and went into the another one. I managed this. I went into the shore and washed my hands by the sand and sea water. The beach was so crowded, so I expected this. (the box was so yacky already……) How come this very gorgeous and beautiful beach cannot afford a regular bathroom? The water pipes seem to have been kept breaking again and again. I do not know they stop the water intentionally so that people cannot gather around the shower or bathroom. If it is not, sanitary wise, they can do something. They were charging visitors for this state park before this pandemic happened. I don’t think people will mind paying a couple of bucks for having bathrooms, shower, and running water to wash off their sandy bodies and legs after swimming in the sea water. They can go to work straight after that. I hope the state can do something for this state beach where people refresh, amuse themselves, and stay healthy and happy.
