Morning coffee run, in the sun

Finally home. Torino was great but exhausting. Got delayed for ages on the way home because of the decrepit Italian train network. So nice to be home!

I took this photo one sunny morning as we headed off to get our morning coffee fix.
Co-worker extraordinaire, the lovely Renita, is the one with the scarf and boots.

The Italian Job

I'm in Italy for work for the week. Having fun, but not getting to see much of the city, stuck inside the conference hall all day. Meeting and working with some great people, though, so that is always good. And of course the food is good....

However, I'm missing the fam and looking forward to going home back to my little life and my own bed. But before I go home I have to explore the city for at least a day with my trusty camera. The weather is perfect early-spring blue sky, sunshine and just a slight chill in the air. There's a reason why Italians are so happy, I suppose, what with all this great weather, great food, beautiful people and fabulous cafes around everywhere!

It's Fasnacht (carnival) time, and Lola donned her best flamenco gear for the parade.
