A Day in Torino
Woke up this morning after a experiencing some Italian night life. First on the agenda, the Egyptian museum, the second largest in the world. The museum was very interesting, with thousands of priceless artifacts. We had a guided tour around the museum. After that the group split up into smaller groups and went site-seeing throughout the city. Nordy, Kyle, Matt, and I stopped by one of the local pizzerias. Others went to the cinema museum. Almost everyone made there way at some point to the famous church were Jesus' shroud is held. It is in a tomb, but the site was very moving. It was an emotional experience. Within walking distance of the church was some Roman ruins, with Caeser's statue in front. Group dinner was at Breks, a cafeteria style restaurant. It's going to be a semi-early night since we are taking off for London early tomorrow morning. So far the trip has been a blast. We are experiencing many different cultures, and having once in a lifetime opportunities. The group is very close, which makes the trip very enjoyable. Brought to you straight from Torino, Italy, this is Joe Thompson, Eric Nordstrom, and Josh Sharpe.
