Laundry Day in La Serena
La Serena, Chile
Wed 13 May 2009
74 °F
We haven’ t seen many days like today. It is not only sunny, we are also at a hostel that has generously offered us a washing machine. Now don’t think that we don’t wash our clothes while travellíng…we do. Usually it is the “wash two items in the sink each night with the powered detergent we have been carrying round and hang in the room to dry” system. We have become near experts on hand washing in small sinks, though often I wonder if we get all the soap out. We come across a washing machine once a month or so. And we all know that there is nothing like real clean clothes.
So here we are today, watching our freshly machine washed clothes dry in the light coastal breeze. Greg is in his surf trunks, I am in my swimsuit. Each item of clothing we own is swinging on the line, dancing in the wind and we hope they will dry by nighttime so we have something to wear when we wander the streets of this sweet welcoming colonial town called La Serena.
