Me Sitting Outside The Ticket Office with Diego918 viewsWe never would have found this small porta-cabin --- the main ticket office for the opening ceremony of the Olympics --- were it not for Diego. The ticket folks brought me a chair and put me on some gravel (at least in the sunshine) while they tried to sort out the buraucracy. Although we paid 30 Euros for courier service, and sent four e-mail messages and made four telephone calls, they "forgot" to print our two tickets.

The Olympic Rings917 viewsOr, rather, most of them. Our complete view of the large Olympic rings at the other side of the Stadio was obstructed by scaffolding.

Me Taking A Photo of My Puffy Pants898 viewsI'd put on my Northern Face down-insulated pants and my foot cast and it was all quite funny. I tried to take a photo of the stylish combination using a mirror in our hotel room. I think the look on Marjorie's face is funny -- sort of quiet resignation.

The Path to the Ticket Booth, Stadio Olimpico896 viewsAs incredible as it seems, this was the path to the ticket booth for the opening ceremony of the Torino Winter Olympics. The booth, in a porta-cabin in the Piazza d'Armi, could only be found via a small A4 paper sign, written only in Italian, nailed to a small stake. The Olympic Stadium is only about 50 meters to the right of this photograph. This was taken the day before the opening ceremony.

Ladies with Signs896 viewsTheir dresses look like the snow-covered Alps, with little trees and little people skiing. The signs were only in Italian, and we couldn't see the large monitors from our seats, so Marjorie and I had fun guessing the name of some of the less-obvious teams. At the Stadio Olimpico, February 10 2006.
