Travel With Me Tuesday: Day 2 in Torino

This is mainly my day in Turin as I spent the afternoon taking a nap after not getting much sleep the prior night. 'His' day was different as he spent a lot of time in a museum while I slept.

Travel With Me Tuesday: Day 1 in Torino

Onward with the 2014 Torino trip. On our first day really IN Torino, we set off with very little knowledge of our way to travel in the city. We had looked at our on-line maps but somehow did not have a feel for the city. Our landlord had left us 1 Metro ticket but no info on where to get more tickets etc.  However, off we went.

Dick was very interested in seeing both the Opera House and the museum.  Sadly, by the time we got into the center of the city my heel and knee were already bothering me. That became the saga of my trip.

Just a note that is in the journaling - those gymnasts or whatever they were gave me the creeps.

Travel With Me Tuesday: The Torino Trip-A Snow Day

I haven't done a regular Day 1, Day 2 etc of our trip to Milan and Turin back in March of this year but every once in a while I'll do a page. This was one I just did.

This trip was planned in the heat of the 2013 summer. I said "I want to go somewhere that has snow on the ground." In my head I was wishing for Switzerland in late November but in reality the Italians are a lot more fun than the Swiss, the exchange rate is better and the food...well, I'm not sure I've had a bad Italian meal. Swiss food was good but again, I'd be counting the cost of each morsel going in. That's not fun. So Turin, in the shadow of the Alps, in March it was.

Who would know that after the winter of 2013-14 I would be so sick of cold and snow... who knew.
