Torino


On the train back home to Milano from Torino.


The river at night creeps upon it.


Tall thin trees near the river.


Alaina looking at the Alps during sunset.


Alaina and I overlooking the Alps and Torino.





The Alps


Kim overlooking the river.


Sculpture in the streets of Torino by the river.


Alaina and emily in the piazza.


Emily and I at the Egitto museo.


Small egyptian sculptures.


Craziest thing ever! Bread from thousands of years ago!!


Blue stone with hieroglyphics on it.


This is the book of the dead which had amazing illustrations and beautiful writing on it. It covered the wall at least 50 feet long.



Statues at the Museo Egitto in Torino. Well worth every Euro. A collection of statues, sarcophagi, tombs, paintings, hieroglyphics, the book of the dead, pottery, jewelry, etc...It was so amazing, I have never seen anything like it.









Street musicians in Torino which could be heard all over the city because of the acoustics.


They saw me taking pictures while they were playing so then at the end of the song they posed for me.
