Too Much Vino in Torino

Only kidding! Well this is Lynn writing on Jennifer & Camilo's blogspot. I arrived in Turin on Sunday, had a little jet lag but still went out that evening to see the city. The city of Turin has a population of about 1 million people, lot's of apartment buildings and historical sites. We walked the next day to see alot of old palaces, churches and musuems. We took a tram to see the Basilica Supergra which had a wonderful hilltop location. Today we took the train outside of Turin to a small village. From there we hiked up an old mule trail, 3100 feet to an old monastary called Sacre de san Michele. It was awesome. It took us an hour and a half to hike up this rugged trail. The monastary was built in 900 ad. Then we had to hike back down. We are really tired and tomorrow will have lots of sore muscles. Tonite we went out to eat at a "typical" restaurant to celebrate our last nite in Turin. The meal was very delicioso! And some of us drank too much wine. Tomorrow we are off to Cinque Terre where we will hike along the Italian Riviera. Will try to post again soon. Ciao!
