No hay agua?! Again?!

I am entertained by the fact that today, once again, our water has been cut off. I'd LOVE to know what they're doing to the plumbing outside so that water doesn't make it to the building. Sometimes you just have to laugh.... My roommate's friend said that he's lived in Caracas his whole life and never once been without water. My roommate says that it's happened maybe once here (before I came) in the four years she's lived here. Since I've come, it's gone out on two separate occasions, the first time for a couple of days, starting the night that I got here. Figures... some higher power wants to make sure I have enough material to write that book about my life, "No hay agua"!

By the way, make sure you turn off that faucet when you're brushing your teeth and try to make good, conservative use of water! You never know when you won't have it.

Cheers!
