I also went yesterday with Paola to a pool she goes to, not far from where I hope to be living soon. It's a very nice gym center and I hope to be able to subscribe and go there once I'm settled.
Since my stuff isnt here and it's getting cold, I went shopping today, bought an Italian suit in an outlet of Max Mara. Nice stuff and not terribly expensive.
Tomorrow I hope to go to an antique's market near the canals here (navigli).
So you see I keep busy. Monday - it's back to work... but only for two days. Hope you're all well.

Oriana Fallaci a pool and shopping
Im using the computer at the hotel so don't have much time to write. Today, I went to see an exhibit on the life of Oriana Fallaci, the Italian journalist who lived a very interesting life, went to dangerous places like Vietnam, Lebanon and other places and wrote about them, interviewed Sharon during the Lebanon war and many others. She became very anti fundamentalist Islam after 9.11 Seems she was also a big feminist. Fascinating life. A few links to more info about Fallaci: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriana_Fallaci, http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/06/05/060605fa_fact

Hi Leora--
I suppose you ought to have taken some winter stuff with you. Maybe true winter will hold off until your things arrive.
Very interesting about anorexia. They really do need to do something about the fashion industry. Maybe send all the models to eat Italian ice cream at least once a day, even in winter!
How models look and what they wear is very discouraging to the rest of us mortals.Glad you found a suit--warm enough and no need to be anorexic to get into it.
