Sanitary?

Playing in the gutter: Sanitary?

That's questionable.

Playing in the gutter: Worth it?

Totally!

You can imagine that in a country where going shoe-less is believed to cause sickness, our kids caused quite a stir this afternoon!


The grass and concrete, above, are a dam the kids constructed (with neighbor kids as fellow technicians) to stop a water leak that has been in existence for at least 3 weeks. And yes, it's a clean water leak ! :)



And a random San Jose, Costa Rica fact:
In the above photo, between Garrett and Ashlyn, see that gaping hole without a grate? Those are drains to the sewer, which are lovingly dubbed "Gringo traps". Let's just say that these "traps" tend to catch Gringos (us) unaware from time to time. We've heard of people in falling chest deep!

Ah, I remember playing in the gutters in Puerto Rico as a kid. The joys of childhood in the tropics.
