We had such fun talking to the other patrons and they were very gracious in helping us with our ghastly french. I love this photo, Eric.

During my brief stay in Paris 40(!) years ago, I found a Laundromat near my left bank hotel. I went in one evening with my jeans and flannel nightgown. When I put money in the soap machine, I discovered that the soap was not in a container, but loose and it fell to the floor. I put in another coin and held my hand under it to catch as much of the soup as I could. I also discovered that there was no hot water. When the laundry was finished, I took it out to put it in the dryer. Alors! It was closing time and the proprietor shooed me out the door with my wet clothes. As there was no heat allowed in Paris before October (it was late September and cold and rainy), I left the city of my dreams with damp clothes. It looks like Laundromats have improved quite a bit in the intervening years. However, they have all but disappeared in San Francisco. I have a laundry room in my apt. building, thank goodness. But I envy those who have their own washer/dryers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-60923736048099041912014-04-04T08:16:37.339+02:002014-04-04T08:16:37.339+02:00I love this kind of photos because they brought ma...I love this kind of photos because they brought many pictures in themselves.

And they never work in quite the same way in any one place. Some you have to buy tokens. Or the soap goes in a different place. In France, the ones I frequented never had a place to sit. I think you were meant to start, go and do something else, and come back. Several times people who didn't speak French or English helped me out, showed me what to do, traded precious change. That's part of traveling I love. And I don't mean the doing-the-laundry part.Sashohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465421643261182073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-34164773508351344882014-04-04T00:20:47.368+02:002014-04-04T00:20:47.368+02:00Great picure Eric - as always - but where else wou...Great picure Eric - as always - but where else would you have your washing machine?
