The water is still out and my shoulders couldn’t take carrying water anymore so I had to use my head, literally. I switched off between a 20 and 25L jug full of water precariously balancing it on my head for the mini trek from the pump to the garden. I have no idea how the people here can do that day in and day out. And they don’t need to use their hands. I was straining with both of mine to keep the darn thing from falling off and breaking, releasing the precious liquid on a worthless patch of dirt. The water tower doesn’t seam to want to be fixed either so its looking like I am going to have my work cut out for me for a little while.
Oh and I saw a scorpion today. It was just a little guy, but his stinger definitely worked. I was studying it on the wall during my English class when one of my students picked up the blackboard eraser and held it close to the scorpion’s head and the little bugger sprang at it with lightning speed. I reacted almost as quickly with my shoe on him.
