The best and the worst

The best thing about returning from 2 weeks in the wilderness: no longer having to carefully coordinate trips to the bathroom with a) the availability of natural toilet paper substitutes, b) soft earth for digging a hole, and c) a significant amount of time. The luxury of just being able to sit on a toilet when the need arises, to use toilet paper, to flush, and to wash your hands with soap and water... wow.

The worst thing about returning from 2 weeks in the wilderness: the inconvenience of having to find a private place to pee every time I need to go. Why can't I just pee behind the nearest bush? I hate the fact that it is socially unacceptable to pee wherever I happen to be standing. This is a hard reality to re-accept.
