The most ingenuous thing about apartment living is the system Brazilians use for drying clothes. I have never seen anything so practical and am convinced that the custom is worth exporting to my next home. We have always had drying racks that are awkward to put out and take up a lot of space while our clothes are drying. Here, they have a system of pulleys that allows you to put wet clothes on your rack and then raise it up to the ceiling so you can go about using the space while things dry. Take a look for yourself (and feel free to copy this great idea!).
This is an aimless blog that gives voices to small joys, quirky happenstances, everyday occurrences, and occasional pesterings as the author navigates her life paths as an educator, transplanted Wyomingite, traveler, and curiosity seeker.
