Laundry and Chores

Today was a day for chores. We hadn’t done laundry since we were in Bangkok and we were down to the last pairs of fresh bloomers so we broke down and did some laundry. We didn’t have a washing machine, but we did have a nice washing stone slab. It was a family event with Nadim washing and the girls and I rinsing, wringing, and hanging.
Yasmin and Roya swept the tile floors and I wiped them. I cleaned and scrubbed in the washroom. Let’s just say it really, really needed it. As a side note, the bathroom doesn't have hot water, but what we do is fill a large bucket with water and use this big heating wand to heat up the water. Then you take a small pitcher and scoop the water over yourself. Not ideal, but much better than a cold shower!

We also met with a couple who will help us find some accommodations. The Baha’i house is okay, but it would be better to have our own kitchen and be close to some restaurants and other services. Hopefully we’ll have something arranged in the next day or two and we’ll no longer be in this limbo. We want to do some volunteer work while we are here, but we want to find something that is close to our accommodations. All in good time, I guess.
