Our water man

This is Carlos and his son. Carlos is a water delivery man. He cruises the neighbor 6 days a week, beeping his horn to alert everyone that he’s selling 20L jugs of purified water. 20L, roughly 5 gallons, costs 14 pesos or a little over $1 US. We drink and cook with purified water. For everything else we use the city water, which is chlorinated but apparently tastes terrible. No one we know drinks it! Carlos and son are always smiling and happy to carry inside the water jugs.
