Ok, so not everything is peachy in Torino... so far I have been fighting 2 enemies this week: jetlag and washing machine. Instead of being a tourist (like before) by dragging ourselves to all the museums, palaces, and piazzas, Syd and I decided to rest and let our bodies slowly adjust to Torino time. Wrong decision!!! It has been very difficult to kill this nasty monster. My friend Lily suggested to 'starve' it (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7414437.stm) but it's not working for us! As a matter of fact, I ended up feeling hungry ALL the waking moments. Yesterday I nearly bit Syd to pieces because he won't let me nap (in order to sleep at night). But today, ha, he took a 3 hour nap! Well, he may be getting a little sick too. :( Jetlag sucks!
As regarding the washing machine... well, let's just say that with the jetlag issue, I'm not in a mood to figure things out. The machine washes fine but I just couldn't get it to spin! Since Italian households don't have a dryer, we need to hang the clothes up... after they have span. Therefore a load of clothing has been washed the entire day today because I couldn't get them dry enough! Argh! The stupid machine and I are not speaking the same language.

Italians DESIGN; Americans are supposed to make it work.
