Marjorie in Sestriere767 odsłonWe 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.%16, %411 %2006

Throwing the Dog Into The Air747 odsłonThe 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.%16, %411 %2006

Me Sitting on a Chair Outside the Oval Lingotto757 odsłonWe 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.%16, %411 %2006

Our Room at the Hotel Plaza, Torino715 odsłonWe 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."%16, %411 %2006

Me -- At Lunch in Bra, Italy1143 odsłonWe went to lunch in Bra, Italy (I liked the name). While we waited for our food, Marjorie and I played around with my ultra-wide angle lens. I'm not sure this photograph of me is all that flattering: I don't think I will be using it when it's time to renew my passport!%16, %411 %2006

Xenon for Torino - Piazza Castello - Jenny Holzer2502 odsłonTorino has a programme called "Luci d'Artista." Jenny Holzer uses powerful Xenon lights to project "her words with the intention of contrasting ignorance and violence with sweetness and moral courage." The English didn't make much sense to Marjorie and me, but the castle was impressive.%16, %411 %2006
