Laundry Day


This is my laundry hanging in my second bedroom – no dryer. You generally see the laundry hanging outside on balconies, windows, trees or laid on top of bushes but since I have an empty bedroom I decided to rig up a clothesline inside. It takes a little longer (3 days for jeans) but the air is a little cleaner. The tiny clothes washer is situated inside the small bathroom. You scoot the machine into the middle of the bathroom so that the plug will stretch to the outlet on the other side.

Cynthia and I met in town Saturday afternoon for a pseudo American day - we ate a snack at a German bakery, shopped at Walmart, watched an American movie "I Am 4" and ate dinner at Subway - I was able to ride the bus to and from (Cynthia was with her folks on the other side of the bridge) my apartment all by myself and not get lost - about 20-30 minute ride - I am still not sure I can navigate the construction and crowds to get from the bus stop to Walmart by myself but at least I can get into town.
