Water, Water Everywhere, And Not A Drop We'll Drink

I think we always knew that Champaign-Urbana has such fantastic water, straight from the tap, and now I think we took it for granted. For some reason, I didn't consider that we'd have to adjust to the tap water in the move. We planned on adjusting to the time change, the weather change, the social climate change, but did not plan on adjusting to the tap water change!

First, the tap water never really gets that cold here, not sure why. Second, it's pretty sulfurey, particularly by comparison to what we're more accustomed to. So we've been pretty disappointed and so far have been biting the bullet at buying bottled water of some sort or another. We're probably going to have to get a filter to attach to the faucet, or a filter pitcher to keep in the fridge. I haven't even filled our ice cube trays cause it just sounds yucky to put that water in frozen form into our drinks! And Brad says that his coffee definitely tastes different here.

We really didn't realize how spoiled we were! We sure are looking forward to enjoying some of that good old C-U water when we come back for Ben and Amy's wedding!
