After breakfast, we began packing for the move to the north side of the duplex.  Everything was packed into the little car we are driving, except for the things in the fridge.

With this done, I began working on our McGuiReport for February 2018 which is due on Tuesday.

About 2 pm, we headed to the duplex to help Vera clean, since the Wayneburg team was now at the airport to catch their flight back to school.   Vera and Virginia started the several hour clean up of both sides of the duplex.

About 3 pm, Tom King and his son, Joshua, unexpected drove in.  We thought they were to arrive tomorrow!  They are supposed to stay in the south end of the duplex.

While the ladies continued their cleaning, I helped by washing the bed linens, towels, etc and hung them on the clothes lines.  I then washed our own clothes.  I lost count at around seven loads total.  The clotheslines on both sides of the duplex were all full and all the clothespins were used up yet there were still clothes to hang out.

On Bonaire, if you don’t at least double the number of clothespins used, the laundry will likely be blown off the line into the sticker burs that are on the ground.  It takes a long time to take all those burs out! Don’t ask how we know!! [We learned this last time we were here]

The wind also dries the clothes quite quickly–as long as the sun is shining.  Some of the lighter sheets and shirts were dry, when it became time to hang out the last load of clothes, but, by then, it was beginning to get dark outside.

We finally unpacked the car, then went back across town to pick up our items out of the refrigerator.  When we got back, the last of the clothes was not completely dry, so we fired up the gas (propane) dryer to finish getting them dry.

Our bedroom in the duplex does not get as much breeze as at Rienstra,s, nor does it have a ceiling fan.  It looks like we will be using the air conditioner at night for the rest of our stay.  Whoever used it last set it to 27C (80F) so that is where we left it for this evening.
