Word of the Day Wednesday

Pila (say pEE-lah)
A pila is a really big sink/basin. Think utility sink. But these sinks are reallly big and made out of concrete. And every house has one.

This is a picture of my pila. The maid uses it to fill up buckets of water. And she uses the wash board on the left to wash the mop and cleaning rags by hand.
