The Costa Rican Government, what can you do?

It's just after lunch, and we are back at the Alta. With Deb feeling much better, we went to the dentist's office. We were both waiting when the senior dentist came out and announced that they are working on a burst water pipe. Water has been turned off for the whole block.
"We don't know when it will be turned back on. The Costa Rican government, what can you do?" He said and shrugged. "You don't want to get too close to me. I haven't had my shower, yet."
He was obviously joking, trying to reduce our disappointment. After waiting a bit, we decided to go back to the Alta for lunch and to wait in a little more comfort.
Lunch was Wasabi Tuna and Fiery Shrimp. As we ate our very good lunch, Michael, the owner, stopped by and asked about Deb's health. He was very glad to hear that she was feeling better. Deb mentioned how much the chicken pot pie had meant to her. He said, "Oh, that was you that ordered it? The chef fixed two and I had the other one, it was really good."
He wished us well, and left us to eat our meal.
About mid afternoon we got a call to come back to the office, "We have water!"
