This is the first weekend in a long time that it hasn't rained, well at least it hasn't rained yet...and so with all this rain brings mold and the unpleasant musty smell. I first noticed Ivan's shoes to be covered in mold in the closet and then one of my jackets! When we went out dancing for my birthday, I was dancing with Ivan and his shirt smelled so musty, as did mine! The only clothes that do not have that musty smell are the ones that are worn and washed on a weekly basis, like my school uniform. But when I want to find a cute shirt for going out dancing, they are are musty from sitting in the closet. It seems that eventually all the "clean" clothes in the closet will have to be washed again, but not until the dry season, which should start in a month or two.
Ivan put up a clothes line through the house because it was becoming so hard to dry out clothes on the weekend, I would be running out to the line every couple of hours to collect the clothes before the thunderstorm, and then put them back out once the sun was shining again. Since the air is so humid, it takes forever for the clothes to dry and sometimes clothes that were washed on Saturday morning would still be damp Sunday night!
It is not just the closet that is effected by the humidity...when I went to use my nice bamboo cutting board, it too had a nice layer of mold growing on it. It has become hard to keep fruit from going bad, we have to eat it right away or it will be rotten. Even food in the refrigerator goes bad quickly, I don't think that has anything to do with the humidity, but it is still annoying. Milk and even yogurt needs to be consumed with in several days of purchase. The one things that does not seem to mold is the bread, which kinda weirds me out.

Yeah, that is weird. Don't eat the bread.
