| The view of the city from the river Po |
The last of my solo vacation time in Italy was spent in Torino, with my lovely Couchsurfing host (and insta-BFF) Alice and her 2 awesome flatmates. I stayed an extra night there, effectively reducing my time in Milan to less than 24 hours--but I wasn't worried about it too much. Being in France for nearly a full year makes me feel as if anything is possible travel-wise. Italy is just next door! As you can see from above and below, Turin was beautiful. I went with high expectations, thanks to an Italian colleague who incessantly raved about his hometown, and I was not disappointed. Also, my Italian came back really quickly, I am happy to report. That is another reason I am determined to go back; it's like every word was just on the tip of my tongue, and I know that if I stayed in Italy for a few months or more I would be speaking comfortably.

| Reminded me of a Parisian arcade :) |

| A little medeival villa that you can visit, nestled within the Parco del Valentino where I ran |
 |
| Italy, moreso than France, was all about the Halloween/autumnal decorations. I was lovin' it |
