jet lag also jet·lag (jět’lāg’)
n. A temporary disruption of bodily rhythms caused by high-speed travel across several time zones typically in a jet aircraft. The effects of jet lag, which may include fatigue and irritability, generally disappear after a few days as the body’s internal rhythms readjust themselves to the new time frame.

Today was day two on our little adventure. So far, we’ve found our temporary home, tried out our “loaner car” on very narrow fast curvy roads (break out the Dramamine), looked like major tourists in the grocery store, gone to church in Zurich, gone to a baptism party and baptisms in Lake Zurich and found our way back home again.
This should get more interesting as I get some sleep. But for now I have to figure out how to sneak past Steve who is bound and determined to only let us go to bed at “normal” times.

We got kicked out of a couple of grocery stores in Paris & Switzerland a few years ago when I was over there – evidently you had to pay for the bags if you wanted to sack up your groceries – didn’t know that, just walked out with them! Oops. My first and last stolen items, although after getting yelled at we did pay for them.
