From the very beginning of our stay here in Egypt I've been fascinated and impressed by the various ways water is provided for the public at large. I've planned on taking a series of photos to highlight these methods but have yet to do it. Today's picture is actually courtesy of my husband, so thanks, J. :P One of these days I'll get around to taking my own pics.

Terracotta water jugs, curbside, for anyone who wants a drink:

How do you drink from them? I suspect my husband wouldn't be excited about it. :p

Wow, how **wonderful**

Can I share the picture on Tumblr?

What a great thing--I never knew this cool fact about Egypt, and I never would have dreamed it up in my imagination. How great! Is it done in other countries, do you know?

That's interesting! So who fills the jugs then?
