No Hay Agua

Last week the water went out in the whole city; no one in Cartagena had water to bathe with, to wash the dishes, to flush the toilet, to drink... Apparently the main water pipe broke that brings water into the city. The water was out for 3 days and everything basically shut down. At first I thought it was funny that students didn't come to school because they had no water, but on the second day, the school was actually closed, and when I went near the bathroom, I learned why. What a smell! It was funny because daily conversation always started with, "Do you have water?" Luckily, the hotel provided me with some water to shower and wash dishes, but farther out in the city they just had to suffer through it. Wilson actually stayed over in the hotel because his mom told him just to stay where there was water. But, no worries, the water has returned, and though there have been rumors of a recurrence of its disappearance, so far, it has been here to stay.
