Torino -- the last day

After cleaning up and breakfast, we decided to go see the Royal Palace.  However, the first order of business was for the kids to feed the bunny (the owner has a bunny named Giulio who is apparently named after an Italian politician who was notorious for causing huge messes and then professing innocence despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary).

The palace was a gilt wonderland, and even entertaining for the kids.  The armory was probably the high point for the kids.

After all the walking , it was time to refuel at Master Sandwich again.  Did I mention that they have ~50 sandwiches on their menu?  I think we should kidnap them and install them at work.

Next, some more wandering around, with the occasional espresso or chocolate (or espresso and chocolate).  We discovered an excellent pasta place in a back alley and bought an assortment of Agnoloti etc. 

And checked out some of the stores.  Check out the shoes of many colors

We also visited the Santuario della Consolata -- one arched gilt hall after another, and still very much in use.  It was very cool.  Then, it was the not very long (~3 hour) drive back home, which was uneventful.

That night, we cooked the pasdta from earlier in the day.  My favorite was clearly the spinach and ricotta Panzerotti -- amazing.

All in all, I give Torino a big thumbs up.  We had a lovely time, and it was an acceptable substitute for a forfeited bouldering weekend in Annot.
