granada: tom needs to do laundry, desperately. having left the farm i am now in transition, slowly morphing back into a respectable looking human (this is possible i keep telling myself). folks where iḿ staying dont know where the closest laundromat is and so i venture out to find one alone.
i stumble upon an office de turismo and decide to ask there. i attempt to ask en espagnol but realize i dont know the word for laundry. so i substitute the word laundry, albeit quietly, and smile :) she smirks back at me and circles a street, la paz, on my free map. so i go on my merry way to find the laundromat.
following her directions i reach la paz and make my way down the narrow street, keeping an eye out for the laundromat. i cant find the laundromat. then it suddenly comes to my attention that all of the shops on the street are selling lingerie.
the spanish word for laundry is lavanderia.
