Torino, day 2

After breakfast at a nearby cafe (included with the room, but not wonderful), we walked to the metro and took it to the end of the line where we walked to the Automotive Museum.  The metro is pretty fabulous -- well marked, clean and with frequent trains.





Next, walking around and going to an really fantastic sandwich shop off of the Piazza Madama.  I had an egg/potato/green beans/artichoke sandwich -- delicious.  I might have to steal that recipe.  Anyway, from here it was back to our B+B to eat and rest for a while.  Our mission to the car museum proved to be a bit exhausting for all of it, but worth it.

We walked around a little more, stopping at the fantastic gelato place called Piu' Di Un Gelato, where they were de-stemming huge buckets of strawberries.  I ordered the hazelniut, which was fantastic, but the strawberry that both Alex and Zoe ordered was out of this world
Next:  back to the B+B again to relax and wait for the next opportunity to eat (dinner).  In the mean time I watched the Giro post game show

For dinner, we decided to go for seafood, despite being in the Piemont.: had developed a mysterious and insatiable desire for grigliatti mista.  And so we found ourselves at Il Giglio, and it did not disappoint
