I am currently doing my laundry-I know, miracle of miracles right!? Anyway, they have a really sweet system set up here for drying, since they don´t have dryers.
So those bars with the clothes on them are up on the ceiling and then the cords on the right are attached to them. What you do is get a stick thing with a hook on the end, you hook it through one of the rings that you see at the bottom of the picture and when you let the ring go up, one of the bars of clothes comes down, and then you use the bar to pull it back down and hook it on one of those things attached to the wall to keep the clothes up and drying. Very efficient if you aske me-which you didn´t but I won´t get offended and I will still offer my opinion anyway because everything revolves around your truly.
These are just a few more pictures that I wanted to add, this one shows one of the bars being lower than the other ones. You can kind of see, right below the light, I have the hook in through the ring that is at the end of the string and I am pulling the string down so that the clothes rise up to the ceiling.
This is just to show where the rings hook onto the wall to keep the bars of clothers up, and then this is the pole with the hook on the end that you use to raise and lower the clothes.
Here is a lovely picture of two different sets of these bar things, aren´t they soooo cool, I mean really, if you don´t have a dryer this is the way to go. This keeps them like, super out of your way while still being really effective!
This is a fun picture that I have been meaning to put on, I am the one with blue hair, I am really considering dying my hair just that color once I graduate from BYU, or maybe I will do it for the games, doesn´t it just make my eyes pop right out? This is from the trip that we took to Olinda. In that tree right behind us lived a family of the cutest little monkeys, one of them came and nibbled my bum while we were taking this picture...well it wanted to at least, I could tell.
Brazil is beautiful, there is so much here to see, to do. So many stories to hear and people to meet. It is a land of diversity, a history rich in so many different aspect. A people who have been beaten down and risen again whether they were slaves, Indians or other minorities.
Brazil is fascinating. It is so much more than beaches and jungles, parrots and beautiful people or even favelas. Yet most people never get to see the real Brazil. They never get deep enough into the culture, look beyond appearances. I am very grateful for the chance I have had to come here, to meet and talk to the wonderful people who make this country what it is.
