Olympics in Torino!






The Olympics are going on, right now, in Italy, and I, of course, am also in Italy, so I decided that I would find a way to get there, An 8 hour and twenty minute overnight train ride later, I found myself in Torino! I went to a hockey game and watched the Russians let out a can of whoop ass, and then I wandered around the city of Torino. I saw a fireworks display, and spent hours in the Sponsors Olympic Village collecting free samples, drinking (also free) hot chocolate, trying out simulated snowboarding and luge games, and ice skating in a rink they'd set up as they projected the live ice dancing competition right next to it! They even had a place to try out curling (the hilarious shuffleboard on ice game). How rad is that?! It was such an amazing experience and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go.

  • I'm so happy that you had the chance to go. It's going to be something that you'll remember for the rest of your life.

    I really, really want to try curling at some point....
