French Laundry

 Went to (the) French Laundry and returned with clean clothes.

We have always talked about French Laundry. How expensive it was. How much time it took. Completely fake news. We went to a French Laundry today, and in under two hours, had clean, dried and

folded laundry.

Quite an experience with no one there, and everything in French. Thanks to Google translate we quickly figured it out! They say the best way to learn is to teach, and no sooner did we get the wash going, a Ukrainian man came in and didn’t know what to do. Helped him out, and got some first hand reports of the conditions in his home country. Not good.

We hung out in the area around the hotel in the 5th today, getting acquainted with our new neighborhood. Lots of cheese shops, meat and fish markets. Quite different from the supermarkets of the US!
