Tracy Isabel Borres

I found her immersion story amusing.

If you have ever gone to an immersion and had to rough it up for a few days, then you would, too. I remember I couldn't poop in the bushes. Who could??? What if you happened to go to the residence of some animal? I don't think it would take kindly to any creature pooping on it! Right... imagine getting bitten on the butt by a freaked out animal... sweet! I can never go to sleep without bathing so I took quick ones by the well (which was a hole in the ground)... in the dark... with one native woman to hold the torch and to make sure I didn't fall in and contaminate their only source of fresh water (brackish at best). I'm sure others watched me but I didn't think about it for as long as they stayed in the dark. I went home covered with insect bites because they swarmed unprotected skin in a millisecond. I went home hungry... Dehydrated... Dirty... Emaciated...

She got nasty feedback on her post, naturally. A guy called her horribly racist and offensive. How pretentious is that? Tell me, who on earth would find it heavenly to be encircled by smelly, snot-covered, naked children with sore eyes? A SAINT! Tracy looks like an angel but she's not a saint. Helllooooo? Cast the first stone, saint... Immersions CAN be horrific! That is the truth. I will just send a donation, thank you.
