One Image - Summary of 12 days at the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics

It's hard to put into words all that I have done during my 12 days in Torino. So I put all items and objects that represent my 12 days in torino in one pill and took a picture. Using flickr I added note to the image to help you better understand my trip

On our way back from Torino, Italy. Kris and I just spend 12 days there working, researching and documenting the Olympics.

We had a great time in Italy, Our last night was a perfect conclusion to this amazing trip. Our new found friend, Turbodiesel from flickr invited us to a dinner party at his friends house, then showed us some of his favorite things about the city we have come to love and finally drove us to the Airport in his TurboDiesel BMW. A million thank you Roberto!

Now on my way back to Canada, I am taking advantage of the free 30 minutes WiFi access given to us at the airport. I guess that now place me in the Mile High WiFi Club!

HYow surreal it is to check my email and type an entry on my blog while cruising at 876 kms, at an altitude of 40,000 feet over the Atlantic.

Thanks you Lufthansa!

My power on my laptop slowly draining, just like my energy level after 12 hard days at the Olympics, I now retire to sleep hopefully for the rest of this 10 hours flight.
