We did not even have lights upstairs where the bedrooms were. Oh and of course we had an outhouse of which i had the duty of cleaning out quite often. It was very peaceful, but I have to admit many things are much easier with modern conveniences. If there is a storm and I need to go out I just run to the car. It is nice to know though what island living is like.
