smoothed of the splinters and hand painted with bright colors. The Kunas either use ores to row the boats or attach sails. It they have enough money, then they affix a motor to the back.Behind the kuakas in the back of the photo there is a picture of a restrrom. The facilities are buit over the water, son the waster can fall into the ocean. Very few islands have electricity or running water, but the ones that do sometimes have flushing commodes. Some families even build concrete restrooms and bathing facilities.
