Last night in Torino.....this is Tha End..

Evening at the Student Union

After running back to the office I met up with a couple people for our last dinner in Torino. We went back to the steak place where we went a couple of nights ago and had another wonderful dinner there. It was Jess's birthday the next day so we had them bring out a birthday Tiramisu (Jess loves Tiramisu).

After dinner we returned to the Media Village. Being that our flight was at 7 am, we decided to leave for the airport at 4 am. Being that Closing Ceremonies didn't end until about 11 pm we all figured there was no real point in going to bed (and a real danger of oversleeping and missing the plane).

We all went to our rooms and finished packing. I took a quick shower and changed, which turned out to be a very good idea.


God time to go already?

We went downstairs to have a quiet drink and say goodbye to everybody and await our cabs. The last night the entire place was lit by candles. The Maitre 'D, who we all called the Godfather, seemed especially sad to see us go.

Done for the night...


Eventually at 3:30 our cabs arrived. Somehow we managed to get us and all our luggage into the cabs and scrape together enough Euro between all of us to pay for them!










Goodbye Verolengo!
