Water, Water Everywhere


When we're home we take it for granted that clean, palatable water will emerge from our faucets. Not so in this desert country. The water here is very salty and unsuitable for human consumption. It's great for doing dishes and bathing because it's naturally soft. As a result of this undrinkable water, dispensing stations can be found all over town. Filling water jugs is just one of our weekly chores,like doing laundry and shopping for groceries. At least we're not gouged on the price---5 gallons for 50 cents. Where else can you get a bargain like that?
