Let's Talk Laundry

It was inevitable. After six days in a humid, tropical climate with four changes of clothes in my suitcase, I had to do laundry. The girls living at the school charitably offered to assist. (you can click on the photos to enlarge them and you may want to to get the full picture...)



First to the main laundry room where the girls awaited.


Next fill your bucket with water.


Add soap and start scrubbing.


Rinsing.


Scrubbing.


Beating.


Checking, squeezing, and rinsing.


And finally, hanging to dry. (a two or more day process, depending on the weather...)


I never knew that doing laundry could be so much fun.

    1. Everything is good in India. The food is especially good - everything inKerala is cooked with coconut because there are so many coconut trees. Where I am staying, a man comes once a month, climbs the coconut trees and cuts down the ripe coconuts. Everyone goes indoors while he is here because it would not be a good thing for a coconut to land on your head!

      I have not seen any elephants...
