Our Room at the Hotel Plaza, Torino477 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."%16.%02.%2006

Me -- At Lunch in Bra, Italy893 katseluaWe 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.

Xenon for Torino - Piazza Castello - Jenny Holzer2257 katseluaTorino has a programme called "Luci d'Artista."

A Caribineri (Policeman) in Cesana Pariol871 katseluaThe cashier at a restaurant near our hotel observed, "We thought we'd be invaded by tourists. Instead, we were invaded by the police."

Marjorie Getting Ready for the Olympics834 katseluaAt our hotel in Saluzzo, The Griselda. The staff at the hotel were tremendously friendly, but the bed and pillows were made of concrete, and we were right next to the lift and heard every creak and clatter.%16.%02.%2006

Man, Dog, Skateboard - Sestiere772 katseluaTom Green, the comedian, was filming in Sestiere. For some reason, there was a dude with a skateboard and a red dog, and they came riding down what passes for the main street.%16.%02.%2006
