Day 5, no water in sight.

Its day 5 of no water-gate and panic has set in. Looters have taken to the local shops, people are jumping off bridges, the whole town is engulfed in a putrid smelling light brownish cloudy haze. People are being driven crazy from dysentery and the rivers have become blood red.....

Just kidding! The aqueduct IS still broken, but everything is fine. The worst thing I heard the whole week was that there is a dead rotting dog carcass lying in the river upstream that no one want to take out. It may be contaminating our primary water source for those of us downstream, but what are the odds, right? The gossip chain is so erratic in this town. One person will say the water is almost fixed, another will say its still broken, another will say it never broke, and yet a fourth person will say this cheese is under-cooked, and just send it right back to the kitchen. As you can tell its hard to get a good gauge on the situation.

Other than that, things are pretty quiet around here. I have ALMOST everything planned out for the volunteers coming in March. In brief their itinerary will look something like this: House-to-house health census, clinic observation, healthcare-focused murals in local clinics/schools, and preventative health based presentations in the local schools.  Here's to hoping it all works out!

I am adding some glamour shots I took of Rosalia....enjoy :)
