Being in a foreign country is a wonderful experience. You get to see and experience things that you wouldn’t even think about back home. Today was no different. After a few days of intermittent water we were just about at the end of our reserves. Our reserve water consists of two plastic trash cans for the bathroom and two blue buckets worth for the kitchen. Drinking water is separate. Since most volunteers are soft westerners we buy bottled water and keep it in the fridge.
Most houses and businesses have a large few hundred gallon tank that they store water in outside. Ours is placed next door to the house on a platform. An hour after the call we had our water truck and a man was climbing up the slightly leaning tower with a hose. The kid in me was a little jealous. Maybe I will climb up the tour later today when nobody is looking.

Holy flying red coats Batman! I have been getting water like that in St. Louis for the last year and a half. I need to talk to my landlord!
