no water

We have no water in my house. It's funny how at the beginning I was expecting primative conditions and was ready to tough it out, and after finding that my house had running water, I took it for granted. It coincidentally happens to feel like the hottest couple of days that we've had here in Honduras so I felt so gross not having water to wash up. At least I had a use for all those moist towels / Wet Ones that I brought!
Yesterday I 'showered' with a wet cloth from the little leftover water that dribbled out of the tap. Now, most houses here have this basin/resevoir from which they take water for washing clothes, etc, and so my host mom later brought in a buckets of water from the backyard. So today I took a cold shower with little bucketfuls of water. I guess it was good that it was so hot, it was kind of refreshing. And it actually saves lots of water - I used only about 5 litres.
But there was no way I was going to brush my teeth it. I had looked in and saw mosquito larvae spawning in the water. I can handle bathing in it, but that is NOT going into my mouth. Well, we'll see how desperate I get :)

note: thankfully, the water only goes out once in a while, probably when too much is used at similar times
