All in A Day's Work

Here is a lovely photo of what laundry day looks like for me, here in Ghana.

Man do I miss that Post Street Laundromat right now.

Yes, it is true each dirty garment must be hand-washed in a bucket, rinsed properly (to avoid detergent itch), and line dried. It is extremely humid in the Central Region and so nothing ever really dries completely but I can’t complain. Dry enough is good enough for me. I’ve been told that sometimes during the rainy season it can take days for clothes to dry and just when they do…torrential downpour. I am sure you will have the chance to read a furious blog post in the future when I experience this tragedy first hand.
