It did not seem like a monumental task as we set out, little did I know. We started with placing our clothes in buckets of water with a little Tide (Tide is a recent addition of process). After letting the clothes soak for an hour, the kneading begins. We filled up another set of buckets with water. The didis never sit but get into a crouch position. We worked our clothes garment by garment then used a special soap on spots. I had to take breaks to let the lactic acid release from my calves and shake the icicles off my fingers (just kidding but wow is it cold). Then it was dunking, rinsing, dunking, rinsing, ringing out and to the clothes line. Thank goodness the didis helped us.
The didis are always amazed how Americans have a machine for everything.

The kids brushing their teeth and washing their faces out back. Its time to get ready for school.

brrr... nothing like a little Himalyan mountain snow melt to clean out your duds! Good luck scrubbing out all your dal bhat spots :) The kids seem sweet and adorable and you two look almost as giddy as them. Keep having fun exploring and posting all the notes and pics! Love, Big Al
Hi Guys! I love reading about your stories, I can't wait to hear more as things settle into a routine for you. Have fun and be safe! We miss you in Boston. KC, my T rides have been lonesome (and lots of delays...grrr...)
Love, Brit
We hope its not to cold for our Midwestern and East Coast friends. Weather here has been 40 at night and 60 during the day. Maybe you all should have come with us, we heard its 5 degrees.
