By then, a bit of sun was peeking out and there was some breeze. So I took a chance and washed bed linen and some other small items. I told Lance, “If you hear, smell or suspect rain - let me know.” Just before 3:00 pm, the rains came down without much warning and they were quite heavy for a short time. We ran outside and brought the laundry inside in record time. I have the small items hanging from our shower curtain rod and this is how I am trying to dry out the sheets:
That big floor fan is really useful for drying out wet floors and bed linen. Why don’t we have a dryer, you say? It didn’t come with our rental house. Most Costa Ricans don’t have one either - they are expensive to use because of electricity costs here. If we did have a dryer, I would only use it a few times a year - such as today. Moving to a foreign country teaches you a lot of new things!

Yes, it does.
I was thinking just the other day how different our life is now. We would not want to return to our previous life.
At least things start to air dry quicker! I only brought two pair of shorts last trip and the one hanging up to dry never really got dry enough by the time I was ready to switch :) The pace is so refreshing there.

Yes, sometimes it takes forever to dry clothes, especially if they are cotton.
