Our Room at the Hotel Plaza, Torino293 katseluaWe were able to find a hotel room in Torino for our last two nights at the Olympics. Our hotel, the grandly-named Hotel Plaza, was clean and remarkably inexpensive. But the room was also very, very "compact."

Sitting on the Bed in the Hotel Plaza, Torino332 katseluaNot much room to sit anywhere else in our "compact" hotel room.

Me Sitting on a Chair Outside the Oval Lingotto283 katseluaWe went to see the speed skating at the new Oval Lingotto. This was the first place where the Caribineri (police) actually let me get through to the handicapped parking area with my EU handicapped parking permit. I sat on this chair in the parking lot until they brought around an electric cart a few minutes later.

Throwing the Dog Into The Air311 katseluaThe skateboard dude tossed his little dog into the air a second time, as we all looked on in stunned horror. Fortunately, he caught the dog a second time. Did the dog enjoy this? Discuss.

Marjorie in Sestriere308 katseluaWe had a nice lunch in Sestiere, and then we walked (I slowly hobbled) around the small "city centre" to look at the ski clothing and souvenier shops.

Marjorie -- At Lunch in Bra, Italy332 katseluaAs we waited for our lunch, Marjorie decided to play with the bread sticks.
