View from Convento de Cristo once a Templar stronghold

Sad, sad that I didn't have my camera with me today when I spent the morning, one more time, immersed in food.  I went with a friend to the largest market in Europe, which is here in Torino.  Though it is mostly food, there are also clothes, household goods, and trinkets.  We went for the food.  First to the covered section for meats, cheeses, breads.  Then to the outside stalls for fruits and vegetables.  I could have wandered for hours.  Wait!  I did wander for hours!  There are people of every ethnicity buying and selling their local products.  The noise is deafening and the smells are intoxicating.  We were so hungry after shopping that we had to stop in an outdoor cafe and eat.  It's still warm enough on sunny days (like today) to sit outside.  All in all a lovely way to spend a Saturday and we have decided to make it a bi-weekly event as every other Thursday I have off from school.  Next time I'll take my camera.  xxoo me
