Dryer-fresh towels

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 Day 70

We declared today to be apartment-cleaning day. We grew tired of the harsh feeling of the line-dried towels while we were in Paris, so we determined to machine-dry them here, since we are just around the corner from a laverie. I did two loads of sheets and towels in our washer here and Roger lugged the basket around the corner to put them into a dryer. They are so soft! This seems like such a little thing, but a scratchy towel is a real pain!

I located a group here called the American Women’s Group (AWG) of Languedoc-Roussillon (which is the area we live in) and emailed one of the members. She invited me to a bookclub meeting on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately Roger and I already have a commitment at that time – we are going on a canoe tour of Montpellier. I don’t know how much we will get out of the narration by the guide, since it will probably be in French, but we should enjoy the canoeing.
