- “Our shower had no shower head, it was just a pipe, and there were 4 holes in the wall where the large towels were supposed to be hanging. All we had were three hand towels and a few washcloths. The shower blasted water out of the pipe so hard that even with the curtain closed, some water splashed on the floor.” 11
