One image - summary of 12 days in Torino, Italy

Euros, US$ and Visa - Don't leave home without them.

Scroll over the picture with your mouse to see the notes on each item…

It’s hard to summarize 12 days of events and travel in one image – I realized that I am missing the chocolates, tickets to events I attended, and a few other items I wanted to have in this… but these 31 are a good start..

who you're calling a sidekick? lol Parlo Italiano? I recall bailing us out of too many situations to be a sidekick in this story. I'd take co-piloto, partner in crime, crazy mo-fo, wing man, but sidekicks, they reminds me of weak Robin dead in the arm of Batman. I'm more like Kato from Green Hornet. All you fans out there know what I'm talking about ;)
