In recent weeks, we had more problems with the water because it rained hard the last few months. Every day, we had no water for several hours and one week since we have no running water at all anymore.
the beginning it was still quite funny. The water for the toilet we had to fetch a bucket from the Pileta and drinking and flushing water we picked a day in a canister from the neighboring village. But now the water tank is empty, that all our animals are supplied, so it is slowly risky. Therefore, we drove several hours to Cantera Lake and completed a total of 16 containers with 200 liters of sea water. And all by hand with a bucket.
drinking water we get now from one of the fountains of the Cantera settlement. Really like a picture book, with a pulley, rope and bucket. That's very nice on the arms, the bucket as often pull the 10m shaft until the full canister has 200l.
In any case, you learn so economical with the drinking water.
is the course a little on hygiene. Although I do bathe daily in the lake, but now I can still shape my hair as desired, as if I had rubbed a pound of butter.
I think after 5 days without a shower I do not begrudge me this time a liter of water to wash the hair with shampoo can. Is slow even me uncomfortable.
But here, despite the water problems we of course let us not spoil the celebration. At the weekend I had was on a better delivery Open Air Carnaval celebration in the dance floor was approximately 40x30m large pool of knee-deep water. This was full of people dancing until the wee hours of music. Was correct divertido!
this weekend I'm going with Rivka (my Mitvolontärin), Jenny (the holiday is just here) and maybe a few friends from here, the Inland, where a 14 hectare plot of land known with a beautiful house, palm trees and pool have. Are you over the weekend on the road and asked us if we can watch as long as the house.
social as I am I said I was of course willing to sacrifice my time for it ...
