Today, the village (Hopkins) ran out of water. Again. This happens all the time (about once every 1-2 weeks), and the village sometimes goes 4 days with no running water. The water I drink, I buy in 5-gallon jugs. I definitely have a renewed appreciation for clean water since I moved here.

This weekend, I've been invited to a birthday party tonight, and an anniversary party tomorrow night. I'm hoping we'll have water soon, so I can shower first!
