This is how the showers work. . .

Checked in a couple from Europe recently, and very nice folks. Happy to be here and we were happy to have them here.

The check-in process here is a bit longer than at a normal hotel, as tree houses, well, do have a bit more explaining.

How the showers work is explained in the book in each tree house. The water is heated by electricity as it goes through the shower head (instant hot water on demand). This is how the majority of people in Costa Rica get warm showers. Normally, we don't want to waste more time when checking people in, figuring they can figure out the showers. A small minority cannot figure it out, but they come around.

However, the other day, we felt compelled to tell the folks, step by step, how the showers work. To be blunt: they were in dire need of a shower, as their body odor pretty much curdled the nose hairs of anyone within 50 feet (who knows when we may see a sloth around here again).

Everyone was hoping that they were able to figure out the showers before breakfast in the morning.
