The Old Fashioned Way...Still Works


Just outside our room is the washer and dryer. Well sort-of they consist of a cement holding tank, and clothes lines. I have been washing our clothes the old fashioned way. There is a cement scrubbing board right next to the holding tank where someone can scrub all the dye out of your jeans and stretch your shirts a mile long...not quite. It does get the job done. Life here is different in so many ways. This holding tank is used for more than just washing clothes. I don´t know what we would do without it. Usually every night and sometimes in the mornings the water gets turned off. So all we can use is what is in the storage tank and it sure does come in handy. Whether its flushing the toilet or washing your hair, sometimes that´s all there is to use and trust me, we are thankful.
