“Water is life. It’s the briny broth of our origins, the pounding circulatory system of the world. We stake out civilizations on the coasts and mighty rivers. Our deepest dread is the threat of having too little-or too much” ~Barbara Kingsolver

Water like wine to a traveler
The first question a traveler always asks when she arrives at her destination is about the quality of the water. If locals recommend drinking the water, the traveler might fill her reusable plastic bottle and observe the color and the size of the particles swimming around the bottom of the bottle. She will swirl the liquid around the edge of the bottle one more time before taking a whiff and a cautious sip. After tasting the local fair, the traveler must decide if this fine water is a liquid she is willing to stomach. Like wine, the risk is high, for you might regret it in the morning.
