This afternoon I’m on my way, finally, to France. Before I go though, a quick update on my last moments in Italy.

I’ve spent the last week in Turin, situated in the Piemonte region in the northwest of the country, and an interesting urban home to things like contemporary art, the bicerin (cream, espresso, chocolate), and the 2006 Winter Olympics. Aside from a day I spent in Alba (hazelnuts, Nutella, truffles), I’ve filled my time with walking, espresso, sculpture, gelato, city tram rides and, of course, people watching.

There is a lot to see here, and I only skimmed the surface.  “Read the rest” to see what some of it looked like.
