Getting Things Clean

8:47 AM

Handwashing doesn’t work 🤣; you keep rinsing, but it doesn’t get any cleaner. So I decided to head to the laundromat in my rain gear, even though the sky is a solid blue and the sun is blazing. 🤭 It cost 12 coins ($0.25 per coin), but all I had was a $20 bill. I went to the change machine—and out came a kilo of small change! 🤣 Luckily, the owner stopped by and helped me exchange the mountain of coins back.

Distances in this city aren’t walkable, especially when business information on Google isn’t up to date. So I quickly ended up in an Uber to get from the REI shop to Walmart and back to the hotel.
