David does the laundry

All guests to our house, if they stay long enough, eventually have to wash some laundry. I recently showed David the ropes.

Step 1: Soak in laundry soap for at least an hour.
Step 2: Take out of bucket and scrub (extra soap on the pits and dirty areas). The pila has a great cement washboard for scrubbing
Step 3: Rinse several times till all soap is removed.
Step 4: Hang to dry
Step 5: Repeat with all other articles of clothing that you dirtied that week.
**Extra step (not always necessary): Remove clothing from lines (or move to protected area) if there are dark clouds looming on the horizon.....rain is not good for clean clothes!

Javi took a quick film of him as he was getting the hang of it....




Transcript (if you have trouble hearing it):

(Me talking in the background about girls at work who asked if I do my laundry by hand.......)

Sara: They were surprised and they said I bet you didn't do that before you came here..... and I was like hell no! I had no idea!

David: Well, its new stuff for me! (pause) I tell you this sucks.


Well,
David has left us now, back to the States. Our house is quiet again and seems lonely without a visitor. After almost a month of visitors, it seems strange to not have anyone at the house!

Its been great fun. I can't wait for who visits us next!
