The outhouse (as mi madre calls it; el sr J says, "it's only two steps away") is getting full. The newest addition is a lavadora. Our lavandería is moving farther away and we were tired of lugging laundry anyway. Besides, there is nothing like the smell of freshly laundered, sun-dryed sheets. There is no shortage of sun here.
Interestingly, those yellow stickers on appliances that indicate energy efficiency are scaled differently in Mexico: in the US, the scale on the bar graph indicates energy used (the farther to the right, the more energy used); here, the scale is money saved (the farther to the right, the more you save on your electric bill). This took a little getting used to, but we managed to get it right. By the way, 5 puntos for identifying at least two ways (other than the yellow stickers) that Mexican lavadoras are different from those in the US.
