Laundry

The Villa where we are staying has a housekeeper named Marta. She works Monday - Saturday and she does the laundry, sweeps, mops, does the dishes, makes the beds and cleans the bathrooms.

The house has a washing machine but the drying is done on a line outside. At the end of the day, Marta brings the drying laundry inside and the next day it is all ironed! EVERYTHING is ironed.

But now I understand why... I took a towel off the rack that had been washed the day before and it was still damp. The humidity doesn't allow the clothes to dry all the way so the items are ironed to get them dry.

Thought you'd find that interesting. :-)
