Wow, busy day.  First the school brunch with a lot of wonderful baked goods.  I did not behave myself.  Nice people but haven't made any real connections yet.  Time will tell.  Then we went for a walk in one of the two large parks up in the hills.  If one wanted one could walk for hours and never cover the same path.  One didn't want to.  Then heading home we stopped at the Castello of Moncalieri (our town) and visited the "Royal Apartment", as today is one of those rare days when the museum is open.  Now sitting outside enjoying the weather and wondering when the infamous northern Italian fogs will begin.  From autumn till spring there can be foggy weather and weeks can go by without sun.  Not looking forward to that. Gotta go start dinner.  All that eating made me hungry.  xxoo me
