Ojo de
Agua / An ojo de agua is literally a spring. These stands are found around
the city, offering filtered drinking water for sale. You bring your 5 gallon
jug, put it in the machine, and pay 5 pesos to fill it. Very practical if
you have a car to haul it in. We used it one weekend when we had rented
a car. Otherwise, we depended on Agua Ciel (alias Coca Cola) to deliver
our 5 gallon jugs -- always a pain because you have to be home for hours
waiting for them to arrive.
