Since tap water is not that safe here, we drink and cook mostly with spring water---from the side of a mountain. Dad, Alex, and I went this past Friday (Jan 2) to fill up all our bottles with this spring water.
We drove around the mountains (about 10 miles from my grandparents' house) with truly breathtaking sights. Fresh snow that we had gotten over the past couple of days added to the effect.
When we arrived at the spring, we saw two pipes coming out of the rock at the base pf the mountain, with water continually flowing from them. Underneath was a hole for water to drain, and a board on top to place the bottle on. We filled up about 30 gallons in all, so it took a fair amount of time, but it was a fun and exciting new experience!
