Thanks, Torino!

Tuesday February 28, 2006

I had a great time in Torino. Thanks to the folks who put this whole deal together, and especially the volunteers, who came from all over the globe and were always willing to point me in the right direction.

Thanks also to those who've commented here. A big grazie to Stefano and Luca for all their help in pointing me to the best places to eat and play in Torino. I have one more day to stuff myself full of Piemontese cooking.

And if you're still in the Olympic mood, why not head off to the USOC Olympic training center in Colorado, or other Olympics training centers in the US?

And...thanks for reading.

Dear James,
Thanks again for your view of the Torino Olympic Games. I had a great time in reading your articles and I’m so happy you enjoyed Torino. I think you got many new friends here, so come back … there are still so many good restaurants you need to “taste”.
Take care
Alberto

Hi James
Just a little note of appreciation for your words about Latvias participation.
Unfortunately I was not able to continue watching the Olympics after US/LV tie 3/3 FEb 15.
I did catch the closing ceremonies.
By the way the two body flyers where Latvian guys. Here are their web sites if you are ever in their neck of the woods and would like to try it out.

Better late than never
