Laundry Day!

And I am so thankful that Wayne and Darla have a washing machine AND dryer!!! The washing machine takes a little getting used to...turning on a pump from the pila (think big concrete sink outside...) that goes to a hose the bodega (storage building...) which then you turn on and put in the washer until it's filled to about 3 inches from the top of the cylinder. Then let it run and it stops at the rinse cycle and repeat the first steps to fill it up once again with water and let it finish. The dryer is normal...no step by steps needed! 
Today we also went to one of the vocational schools around the corner for their science fair. They had their classrooms set up with all different projects...here are a few pictures from the fair...

Burning newspaper...

Apparently that's how you make homemade shoe polish!



Lily getting her blood tested at one of the booths to see what type she has...


The majority of my day was really spent at school trying to get my door decorated...which means tracing boarders, tracing letters from the overhead since apparently patterns are virtually nonexistent, oh yes...and of course if the projector is involved that usage depends on if there's actually electricity.  If the power fails it really puts a wrench in the plans!  So tomorrow back to cleaning up and decorating my room...I'll take some pictures of the room to update you on the progress of it!
