Me Taking A Photo of My Puffy Pants808 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 Olimpico805 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.

The Olympic Rings805 viewsOr, rather, most of them. Our complete view of the large Olympic rings at the other side of the Stadio was obstructed by scaffolding.
