So about the water..

Kelly handwashin' her clothes

Our backyard

Forgot to mention how the whole "don't drink the water" deal is workin out thus far.

This morning I had to brush my teeth by pouring bottled water onto a toothbrush. I also had to pour bottled water into my hands to wash my face, which is an extremely awkward task.

If we need to wash our hands, we do it under hot faucet water with soap. We have to dry our hands very well and then use hand sanitizer. No ice cubes and all dishes have to be completely dried off.

No shaving allowed :/ yuck.
Almost all of our food must be extremely hot in order to kill the bacteria. Basically, the water is going to make all simple daily tasks extremely difficult. Some of us have considered just accepting our inevitable sickness and getting it over with early. I on the other hand plan to make it through all 5 weeks with no illness. Fingers crossed.
