Torino, I had a lovely time in Torino. I stayed with several amazing hosts. I learned a lot about the city. I did not get to see much of the Olympic type things I was hunting for. I had an excellent time in this little village south of Torino, that had an excellent small town feel to it. I had lost my directions to my hosts home and had asked a local if he knew how to get to the address. He walked me over to a group of people 5-6 standing outside this café and they gave me a map and made hand gestures of how to go there, and when I made a wrong turn they whistled because I was not far away and gestured to turn left. I yelled back grazie and they all waved. It was really funny and cool how they were so helpful and just the small community feel of the city.
Tomorrow I will be in Modena just north of Bologna where I will be for several days.

Benito Hi Kevin, How are you ? As I see you keep on travelling in Italy. I hope you love it and you won't forget to go to Napoli (You must go there !). When I went in montain 2 weeks ago I lived the same kind of avventure. I ask for my way to an old guy, and no sooner had he finished to explain us how to go to the place that he invited us to take a piece of cheese with his other friends, and then another piece, and then 3 glasses of wine, salame ... the whole picnic ! We stayed with them 1 and half hour ! I have to tell you that my flat will rimember you for a long time ... We built team for the washing up ... mine is called chicken dance team ;-) . Bye and enjoy your wonderful trip !
