So we started the morning off with our usual 15 minute hunt for our car. It is put in the same place every single day but somehow is also lost every single day. We played China today and endured our first loss... but we played a really good second half and went into an extra end. But not to fear we also found out that we are guaranteed at least a third place finish in the round robin...which means... WE ARE IN THE FREAKIN PLAYOFFS! <------ (pause for cheers). Which also more importantly means that we will have Wednesday off to go shopping at the market in Pinerolo, which we have heard is amazing and everything is crazy cheap! So put your orders in now!
Yesterday on our break between games Hayley and Brittany went for a walk around Pinerolo (and Heather was put on house arrest because of it and Katrine went to the rink). They ended up at this really old church with a view of the entire town. The walls inside were completely covered in paintings that were more amazing than anything they had ever seen before. Except for this one stairwell where there were paintings depicting how certain people had died. Brittany and Cam ventured to the bottom of the stairwell where they had a chance to meet those depicted on the wall... or atleast they felt like that from the voices they heard down there. Hayley and Ryan on the other hand didn't make it down one step before chickening out.
We are sorry to say that the past few days have actually been quite uneventful so this will probably be our shortest blog yet...but we still have some plans to create some action. One is to all scatter when being followed by our cops and see how they react... we may lose Heather. They tend to have minor freak outs everytime we try to separate so we will see how that goes.
Hayley feels that everyone at home needs to know that she spent €4.50 on a glass of Coke which is only about half the amount she spent on a sweater! Apparently water is the best deal here.
Tomorrow we play the two teams we are tied with for first, Sweden and Russia.

Getting a loss now is no big deal, especially since it was after an extra end - must have been a nail biter of a game. Wish we could watch them. Will be cheering for you tomorrow. Good luck from Winnipeg.
