Oh the naiveity of me (and in case your wondering naiveity is totally a word...at least it is to me)
I got what I wished for. This is my laundry room. The lovely thing on the right is my washer and dryer. It takes a whopping 4 hours at least to wash and dry a load of clothes that weighs about 5 kilograms. (It says 6 but it lies) So I'm definitely freed up to do other things while it washes and dries my clothes.
Are you wondering what the grey pipe looking thing is that's snaking into the sink?
it's the drainage hose for the washer and dryer of course! Fun stuff!
But seriously I am getting a clothesline soon so I can hang up my clothes to dry and hopefully get more laundry done.
We have some friends from South Africa and Houston visiting right now so we have been able to visit some tourist spots. This is a 1500 year old temple thing in the middle of Lima. Notice the city skyline behind the ancient mud wall.
Not the most flattering picture of me but hey this is the real me :p
It doesn't rain in Lima so they can build things out of basically dried mud mixed with seashells and it lasts. If we built something like that in houston it would disolve within a month.
One result of the lack of rain is the streets are really dirty. My children look like street urchins when we go out because they just get soooo dirty. Which adds to my laundry problems...
Hand sanitizer is always on my person.
We have been living in our apartment for a week today. Once I find a place for everything I will do a video tour for you to enjoy. I'm really loving our apartment. It's nice to have a place of our own after 2 1/2 months of traveling and staying with people. This place is really beautiful too. God has really blessed us to be able to have a nice home. It's kind of a superficial thing. But one thing God has shown me in this short time is that he delights in giving us the desires of our hearts. Even the seemingly unimportant ones.
i love it all! and i'll be honest, i never knew about a washer/dryer combo...craziness.
