Spring Water ... in Winter

1/24/2015

     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!

My grandparents didn't used to have running water in their house. Tthey used to have these barrels that they would usually put honey in them (they were beekeepers) to keep potable water. So every few weeks my grandfather would drive this really old SUV type car, to fill out these barrels with water from a well up on a hill. We would use rain water to bathe when we were visiting them.

Adora, I have really enjoyed reading your blog and hearing your perspective. It is very well written and you did such a good job allowing everyone to see Romania through fresh eyes! It was a pleasure getting to spend some time with you this weekend, and we hope that you can come to the girls' camp and enjoy meeting some new friends!
