La Cita di Turin

Ciao-

This weekend I went to Turin (Torino) for a day trip.   If this city sounds familiar, it's because it's where the 2006 Winter Olympics were held.  Don't go to Turin... ever.  Not that the city isn't beautiful- it's surrounded by mountains, which are gorgeous, snowcapped and glistening in the sun.  But there really isn't a whole lot to do in Turin unless you love museums.  There were about a million and one stores... but they had the same things Milan did and who the hell wants to carry back a million bags on the train.  Not I.

We did an art history museum, which was great and fabulous... but I'm only a one museum a day kind of girl.  Other than that, the city is very structurally similar to Milan, and there isn't much to do besides walking around.  The food was definitely amazing however... great doughy pizza, seasoned to perfection along with Cioccolata di Turin Gelato.... YUMMY!  

Other than that, no one came to check our tickets the ride there or back to Turin (2 hours).  Not that I'd ever just jump a train without a ticket, but on the way home I'm assuming many people did.  We didn't get a seat for 20 minutes because there were about 10 times capacity on the train... oh Italy... gotta love it.

Ciao for now... and remember... don't go to Turin unless you want to shop.
