While there are some communities whose water supply, while safe is unpalatable there aren't many of them at least in the U.S. <br /><br />ewafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339565669634286677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-64826397549479714162013-09-24T20:44:01.770+08:002013-09-24T20:44:01.770+08:00Thanks YTSL!

The trick is to wait for it -- or even better chase it -- in the side streets. Sometimes you end up fearing you're too close as it barrels towards you... ;b<br /><br />Re the bottles of water: I tell myself it's better to buy fewer larger bottles than more smaller bottles of liquids. Hope I'm right!YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-8163425104929679482013-09-21T10:14:32.356+08:002013-09-21T10:14:32.356+08:00Wow, how pretty!

It was really quite long and looked delicate, the carriers must have practiced their timing quite a bit. <br /><br />But all that body heat on top on the regular heat, was too much for me after a long day. It had been late so we had stood there waiting for about 1 1/2 hours. I said goodbye toDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807205757095971212noreply@blogger.com
