La Lavandería
... 8217;t be more excited!
Of course, I came back and shared this news with all of my colleagues. In addition to planning a date/time for our cooking class, several of them also wanted to take their dirty laundry to this new place. We decided to wait until I went to pick mine up so that we could all go together.
