The conflict:
Neighbors reported that on the corner of my house, workers from Aguas de La Habana had opened a huge hole.I went outside and looked into the distance 馃槓.
El conflicto: Los vecinos reportaron que en la esquina de mi casa, trabajadores de Aguas de La Habana hab铆an abierto un enorme hoyo. Sal铆 y mir茅 a lo lejos 馃槓.
I had no water at home. Minutes before I had to get out of the shower soapy and contrary to what you might think, I wasn't in a bad mood.
I just said to myself, nothing ever happens here. Grab the camera and let's find out if the hole is deep enough to take us to the center of the Earth. This #Monomad Challenge will appreciate the dare.
Then, I focused on the details
No ten铆a agua en casa. Minutos antes tuve que salir de la ducha enjabonada y al contrario de lo que se pueda pensar, no estaba de mal humor.Simplemente me dije, aqu铆 nunca pasa nada. Coge la c谩mara y vamos a descubrir si el agujero es lo suficientemente profundo como para llevarnos al centro de la Tierra. Este #Monomad Challenge agradecer谩 el atrevimiento.
Luego, me centr茅 en los detalles
This pipe seemed to scream to the whole neighborhood, bad news, bad news!
Esta tuber铆a parec铆a gritar a todo el vecindario, 隆malas noticias, malas noticias!
Out of the backhoe came a worker, looking unfriendly. We greeted each other briefly, but there was still a lot to break down.
De la retroexcavadora sali贸 un obrero con cara de pocos amigos. Nos saludamos brevemente, pero a煤n quedaba mucho por descomponer.
The crime scene 馃槺.
La escena del crimen.
I think I'm an expert at making friendly small talk. I was able to get to the hole.
Creo que soy experta en charlas amistosas. Pude llegar al hoyo sin problemas.
But first my camera wanted to taste those sprinkles before anything else.
Pero primero mi c谩mara quer铆a saborear esas virutas antes que nada.
I don't know for sure if they were there to repair the neighborhood leaks. I told them that right in front of my house there was one, to not be shy and continue a little forward.
This caused them to laugh.
Things are not so easy in the outside world.
Sometimes I think life is as simple as shooting my camera.
I'm so happy when I do it!
No s茅 a ciencia cierta si estaban all铆 para reparar los salideros del barrio. Les dije que justo delante de mi casa hab铆a una, para que no fueran t铆midos y siguieran un poco hacia delante.Esto les provoc贸 una carcajada.
Las cosas no son tan f谩ciles en el mundo exterior.
A veces pienso que la vida es tan sencilla como disparar mi c谩mara.隆Soy tan feliz cuando lo hago!
But, this is a very hard job, with feet stuck in the mud, punished also by the sun... this man's wife or daughters must know that. I wondered if that tattoo had two names or just one.
Pero, este es un trabajo muy duro, con los pies metidos en el barro, castigado tambi茅n por el sol... la esposa o las hijas de este hombre deben saberlo. Me preguntaba si ese tatuaje ten铆a dos nombres o s贸lo uno.
It was already past noon and I imagined that their stomachs were rumbling....
Those in the photo above were by then in a hurry to pick up the scene of the crime.
Meanwhile, there were those who preferred to savor the sweetness of a mango, while this servant returned home, I mean to the desert, to download the photos and prepare this post.
Luckily I had some water left to drink in some little tanks that I keep in the kitchen.
Ya hab铆a pasado el mediod铆a e imagin茅 que sus est贸magos rug铆an...Los de la foto de arriba para entonces ya ten铆an prisa por recoger la escena del crimen.
Mientras tanto, hab铆a quien prefer铆a saborear la dulzura de un mango, en lo que esta servidora regresaba a casa, quiero decir al desierto, a descargar las fotos y preparar este post.
Por suerte me quedaba algo de agua para beber en unos peque帽os dep贸sitos que guardo en la cocina.
Thursday, May 18th - We already have water!
