Beth!

Beth arrived Torino last night. She had a crazy itinerary: fly from New Orleans to Rome (~ 13 hours) and then ride a train to Torino (~ 8 hours) in the same day. I told Syd not to worry about missing her at the train station... she'd be the girl with 4 luggages! Apparently she didn't need us worrying anyways as she made a couple of Italian guy friends on the train. :)

A big outing day for us today as we went to Beth and Trevor's apartment, treated to another coffee (by signor Tutucci, again!), had lunch (I finally was able to have a big bowl of salad) in a historical roman area, walked around Torino (Photo: Palazzo Reale - Royal Palace), ate gelato, found a McDonald, and enjoyed a delicious dinner (fresh-made pasta with asparagus and peas, veal carpaccio, swordfish in lemon sauce, and 2 desserts!). We were so silly at dinner without any wine (we ordered it but the waitress seemed to forget - twice). No matter, it turned out with wonderful company, we don't need alcohol to have a great time. Welcome to Torino, Beth!
