Torino Tour

Friday afternoon we walked around downtown Torino and saw some of the old sites. The USAC coordinator took us around (and only 10 of us wanted to go, so it was a nice little personal tour). We saw the replica of the Holy Shroud. It’s very interesting to hear the story and history behind it. We also saw the exterior of a couple palaces, the old roman wall (that used to surround the city), and tried a traditional Torino drink (Bicerin) made with espresso, chocolate, and milk/cream (VERY rich!).
