Day Trip: Torino November 3rd, 2011
Although it was a rainy, gross, and cold day, Torino was a really nice city. When we got off the train, it instantly felt like we had left Italy and gone to France. The style of architecture in Torino is heavily influenced by French architecture, reminding me a lot of Nice. Normally, you would be able to see the mountains and surrounding hills of the city, but it was so foggy and gray out you could barely see a mile away. We did our general tour of the city, visiting churches and palaces and ending with the Fiat (car) factory building.
