Fish-scale “curtains” – typical for the Jericoacoara region

We have a long list of the things to do on our “maintenance and improvements” list for Pousada Atlantis here in Jericoacoara, but today finally I crossed out one – making some sort of curtain over the laundry-drying area on the right side of the house. This part has historically been half-neglected as there is only one room that is situated there. The entrance to the storage room is there, the garbage tanks etc…

As mentioned in the previous post we have already changed out gas container solution, and now, after long hours, 110 holes in the fish-scales and 220 knots on the thread, we put up some sort of decoration to masquerade the ropes for drying cloth. Well they don’t exactly hide everything behind, but at least they distract the attention from the laundry and also from the window behind, which actually goes pretty much straight to our bath-room 🙂
