Wash day

It's not all lounging on the beach, listening to the surf with a long neck Presidente in hand. There are still a few chores to do. Today was wash day.


The washing machine is in the gazebo. To use it, simply pile in some clothes, a little soap, then turn on the garden hose and fill. Once the clothes are clean - using the hose again - a couple rinses then into the spinner on the right side of the machine. The drain hose is led to the yard where the water does double duty watering the plants.


The final step is one few Americans will recognize, hanging the damp clothes on a line with clothes pins. Younger readers may want to study the picture below for proper technique.
