Come for the art and architecture, stay for the gelato
Local time, 1:15 AM
I've been experiencing a sore throat so napped from 5 until 9 PM. Headed down for supper (this is normal here, by the way, how late we eat...) and ordered a big pot of hot water, some lemon, and honey, along with my amazing light supper of grilled cheese, vegetables, and tomato, and minestrone soup. I finished it off with a bowl of vanile gelatto, and it was a good thing. It soothed my throat and tasted fantastico!
Tomorrow we head south. We will be taking a train to Modena (home of the most amazing vinegar, and also Mazarati)) because it is near Maranello, the home of Ferrari. There is a museum there we will see, as well as a restaurant Steve knows about from all his car people.
We will get back on the train in Modena and end in Florence around 8 PM. Both train rides are scary since they require a change along the way. Haven't tried a train change yet, I just hope they give enough time!
So I am headed off to bed, will be up in a five hours to pack and get breakfast before we catch a 9:05 AM train to Modena. Steve is packing now while I am writing this.
We've set up an online photo gallery of our days in Torino. You can reach it by clicking here: http://www.pensandpixels.com/Italy2005/TorinoGallery/index.htm
The photos will play as a slide show. You might need to scroll down each page to see the file name, which will give you a clue as to what you are seeing.
Our B&B in Florence does not have internet access, altho we might try to cheat and use the free internet number we got in Milan and plug it into the phone in our room. It's possible we may not be able to post for a couple of days. But we'll be saving it all up for you!
Arrivederci,
Wendy
