Wilkins vs. Sauza

Just a note, "Don't drink the water"

Lynn's family has been very scrupulous in giving us bottled water. The week before we arrived, there was a Balikbayan(returning) couple that had been away from the Philippines for several years and they drank the taps as they usually did when they lived here. They discovered that even though they were born and bred in Pagsanjan, their years away had taken away any immunityto the local bugs. They were violently ill for a few days.

So, everywhere we turned, a family member handed us a bottle of Wilkins, the best bottled water, and admonished us with the story about the other unhappy couple.

I think,"Wow", that is great, considering it is not cheap here. So on Tuesday when they bring soup to our rented house,we all eat and drink Wilkins. I have a question and ask Lynn's teen neice on the side,"Do you use Wilkins for soup too?" Thinking to myself, "What an extravegant use of bottled water, as I finsihed my question"

She answered,"No,tap".

The countdown starts.
