30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 27--Water Delivery

Many people here in Nicaragua, including our family, drink purified water. The water here in the city is supposedly fairly safe to drink, but because this isn't true 100% of the time, and because the water that comes to our home is stored in water tanks, increasing the risk of contamination, we choose to go the safer route. This means buying 5 gallon jugs of water and refilling them when they are empty, which is not nearly as convenient as filling up a cup of water directly out of the tap. It is almost as convenient, though, because every other Tuesday, there are "water guys" that come right to our door with full containers and take away the empties. While this seems very insignificant, we are grateful for this service that makes our lives a little simpler.
