Up on the roof

There are a few ways to get your laundry done in Oaxaca. You can take it to a lavanderia and have them do it--this is the most common way--or you can find a self-service landromat. Very few people have washers and dryers in their houses. I am lucky to have a lavanderia that is full -service as well as self-service in the next block. This morning I washed three loads including sheets, towels and a few clothes. I could have dried the laundry there but most every house has clotheslines that are on the roof. This is a perfect place for drying laundry as it is always full sun up there. With the low humidity and sun the laundry can be dried in no time. My apartment has clotheslines on the roof and the photo shows the view that my laundry has. By the way, roof tops are also where the dogs live. Dogs are for guarding, rarely for friendly pets so the rooftop is their turf.
