208. Water

This winter started out very mild, but then it became very cold.  Generally the weather in Moldova is similar to Ohio.  But this year there was multiple days in a row that were below freezing, even down to -20F.  It was so cold that they shut off the 'city water' because they were worried about the pipes freezing.  In February and March we did not have water for 5 weeks, all of our water came from the well in front of our house.

I have never missed water so much.  It was hard to wash cloths and the dishes.

Now, our water has a black tint... I do not know if there are related or if something else is wrong with the water.  I also do not know what made it turn black, but it does not smell different.
