My roommate and I washed laundry today. We have about a week and a half left and we didn't want to go back to Florida with a ton of dirty clothes. To begin she washed her clothes in the baby washer we have in the apartment. This washer is also in the bathroom. It doesn't really actually wash your clothes it seems though, more like soaks them and makes them sour. Then after, you have to hang them up on the clothing line outside of the apartment. Since I am not a fan of wasting time nor having my underwear hanging outside for the world to see we visited a laundromat down the street from our house.
Being the people that we are we first had to get something to eat. We ate at a beautiful restaurant called "Anita" for the second time since we have been here. I enjoyed a pasta with meat sauce, curry chicken, and roasted potatoes. It was very filling. On top of that it was free because of our vouchers with our program.
After our lunch we went to the laundromat and accidentally got the washers that were 7 Euro a piece instead of 3.50. Apparently the bigger the washer the more it cost. We did however save money by purchasing our laundry detergent at the 99 cent store, which by the way is amazing. They have everything you could want in there from 4 rolls of toilet paper in a pack to beer (which the winos that hang outside of our apartment seem to enjoy). We washed our clothes and enjoyed some gelato from the place next door and it was a success!
I'm planning to meet up with some more people from our program later to enjoy our last Friday night in Florence!
Ciao!
Alisa
