So I ghandwashed my clothes today for the second time. I am really not convinced I am cleaning the clothes so much as making them smell alright. Were it not for the mucky water left over from cleaning, providing visual confirmation that at least some dirt is being expunged from the fabric, I would have concluded it is worthless. Mostly, I fear ripping some of the theads out and ruining shirts as a result of rubbing the articles together with too much force. I am pretty committed now to the idea of buying a washing machine....most Volunteers have them, and they say they run around $80, so not that bad.
On Wednesday I am leaving my villiage to shadow a current volunteer, which should be fun and informative - and also relaxing. Foremost, it will be nice to have access to a toilet I can be fairly certain is fairly clean. Anywho, that is all for now.

Handwashing is usually more effective than machine washing as far as cleanliness actually. But I hope you now sympathize with the many jordanian women who handwash all the clothes in their household and hang dry them on a daily basis.
