Re: Barefoot in Beach Bathrooms?

If you're referring to the restrooms at One Ali'i Parks (both of them), I agree.

De'ms du ones. Where only the brave dare go. What's that squishing between my toes? YIKES!

Oh, and you haven't lived until you have been pointed to the outdoor area "where everybody goes" outside a village in India.

I was grateful to have a private squat spot when it was available.

I prefer to have slippers on, but if I gotta... I gotta. ewww

Check this out!
My wife told me of her kidtime in Fiji, there was a short dock over the water (ocean/mangroves) with out houses and holes. She told me some fish stories. HaHa!

Our village house has a regular pit toilet (outhouse). Large spiders and large toads love to hang out in there. Think of having to go at midnite! ewww

Anyways... carry on.

I have lived within walking distance to the beach my entire life (except for living in upstate NY, in which case I am within walking distance to the river) so my solution is to go home . But, in the rare occasions I am at a beach park, definitely put the slippers on to use the facilities, 'cause.....ewwww......

Have to confess I have "relieved myself" in the ocean water occasionally; I try my bestest to get away from anyone else.

According to the EPA we all relieve ourselves in the ocean here...

I was really annoyed when the City "renovated" the Ala Moana Beach Park bathrooms and roofed the shower stalls over. Before, they were roofless and the bright sunshine kept the algae and slime to a minimum. Now? Ugh.

Why the need for a roof over the shower? So people wouldn't get rained on?

i don't remember who it was that told me this, but i know the reason why they did that is because of peeping toms who would make monkey to climb the trees and watch people doing their business, whether it was showering, getting dressed, or ... doing their business.

There was a well publicized case in Montana de Oro State Park near San Luis Obispo, CA probably 30 years ago. The police caught a guy sitting in the bottom (yep I said bottom) of the ladies pit latrine with a raincoat on! He admitted doing this on several occassions before being caught. He had "psychological issues."
