No Power!

It was super hot out today! Which didn't work out well for me when the power decided to go out on me. Mom you would have been miserable. Apparently you can't have more than 3 things on at a time. I had the washer and dryer both on at the same time and I guess that was too much for this poor apartment. Not good on a hot day because that means no AC! I had just come back from my walk too and so I was overheated from that and to come back to a hot house, oh not cool. Literally. (See what I did there, Findley's/Fabrizio's I know you'll appreciate that one) 

Ok so I knew we have things on the wall that have something to do with something but the problem is A. I know very little if anything about these things and B. Everything is in Italian.
So I pull out my phone and started translating all the boxes we have on the walls so I could figure out which one had to do with the power. I was super nervous because one also has to do with the alarm system and I didn't want to touch that one at all. I had messaged Kyle to tell him the problem but didn't hear back for a while. When he finally got back to me he walked me through what I needed to do. 

So these switches were good, they were all on and even when I turned them off the back on nothing happened.


It was this guy that was the problem. Kyle knew instantly when I sent him a picture of it, the switch on the bottom was down. I didn't even see that, I was just trying to figure out what the screen said for about 30 minutes then why it was red and what would happen if I pushed that button. No thought went through my mind about the switch at the bottom, but also I didn't want to do anything wrong and have him come home to a broken box. 




 And let there be light! That switch was the problem. I guess having the washer and dryer on at the same time was too much. 



Later that night while making dinner, I decided it was a good idea to chop my finger instead of the garlic  I was chopping. That wasn't good at all, and of course we don't have bandaids so Kyle fashioned this beauty. Fancy huh?


Also because I was injured and helpless, Kyle had to do the dishes which was nice. I got to sit back and relax and watch him attempt cleaning. It was quite entertaining and very nice to just sit there too. The cut was pretty deep and got all the way into my nail too, I won't show a photo of that (mainly because I would never take a picture of something like that, and didn't) but you get the idea. I'm also not one for blood so sitting was a really good idea for me.

Bringing the Cooking Lessons Home

We left the hotel at the Neapolitan time of 10ish or 11ish and headed back to the town to find some breakfast. We parked in another paid parking lot so Kyle was happy. After breakfast we looked in a couple of shops after to see if we could find a ravioli cutter but still no luck. So weird. It was so nice out again, such good luck with the weather. We found another cute look out area that was apart of the "public gardens" we found in the guidebook at the hotel. It was just a little area with benches and the look out, not many flowers or garden like things.  When we were walking back to the car we saw this sign on a wood shop and I had to take a photo for dad. I thought it was so clever! Still on a mission for a ravioli cutter we headed towards Pozzuoli to try and go to their "Costco-Like" or "Walmart-Like" stores they have. One is called Leroy Merlin and the other is Auchan. The one we went to was apart of this huge mall. Kyle and I h...

Boston, MA + Sam Adams Brewery (by Kyle)

2 January 2013 Boston, MA and Newport, RI This is Kyle again, I have returned to write another blog about my trip to the East Coast.  Laura and I had an awesome time on New Years and New Years day.  We woke up early this morning in preparation for our trip to Boston and rushed to Kinkos so we could print our bus tickets.  We hauled our stuff quickly to Chinatown and hopped on the Fung-Wah bus.  Laura and I slept on and off throughout the ride and finally arrived in Boston 4 hours later.  We quickly departed the bus station and headed directly to the Sam Adam's brewery. On the way we saw Kady's street! We got there just in time for the tasting session of their final tour of the day!  The beer was so fresh and amazing!  We met up with some of Laura's friends who were also in Boston (the same ones we met up with on New Year's Eve-Day). Lily, Laura, Me, Alexian and Eric at Sam Adams! We headed over to the local pub called Doyles that ...

2 more days!

I feel so completely overwhelmed right now. At this moment in time I have pretty much seen everyone and said all my good byes. Its been a rough week knowing that when I do get back from Italy, I may not have time to see some of the people I've seen this week. But at the same time I can't even freaking wait to get on that plane and head out of the country! Pretty much tomorrow is my last day for me to do anything and EVERYTHING! I do have quite the list of things I need to double check and finish tomorrow before I take off on Tuesday, seeing how I won't have any time to do it that day. I went to get my nails done and had dinner with the girls tonight, minus Natalie :( poor girl. But Ash did show up for dinner so that was nice and it was a good send off after spending the rest of the night with my second family. They will be missed most definitely but it is good preparation for my move, which I don't even want to think about. Ugh this craziness needs to die down soon! ...
