Itinerary
Torino, here we come!Carol and I will travel with long-time friends Wally and Donna (fellow survivors of adolesence in Okauchee). For six days we will be staying with the Pellini family. Three of four family members speak English. Aldo, an IT looking for work, will be our guide at times. Giuseppina teaches French at a high school in Torino. Domenico is retired from Fiat. Michelle (a guy) is currently active in the Italian army.
Our goal has been to travel light, our first challenge. Our next challenge will be to interrupt this plan with frequent visits to local restaurants and pubs. We feel it is our duty as ambassadors from America.
