Torino

                                             Torino 

 We went to Torino or Turin for three days. Turin is a city that is located in the upper part of Italy or the top of the boot. We got to Turin on Halloween. When we arrived in Turin my dad’s second cousin Gianni picked us up from the train station. Gianni has a car so we got to ride in a car for the first time in over a month; we stuffed all our luggage into the trunk and dad sat in the front seat while I was stuck in between my mom and brother. 

Gianni had booked us a bed & breakfast near his house. On the way there he showed us his kids' school and other places in his town. When we were done putting our stuff inside the B&B he drove us to his house and introduced us to his kids Davide and Francesco. Davide is almost eight and Francesco is five. They mostly spoke Italian but Davide could speak English if he needed to. Since it was halloween we gave them chocolates and later I played them a halloween song (Spooky scary skeletons) and showed them part of a movie that we watch every year at home (Spookley the square pumpkin). 

Later we went to get food. It was PIZZA. It was pretty good and I ate almost a full one. After we ate I played with the kids which made me super happy since I had not interacted with kids other than my brother for over a month. I got to chase them around with a toy snake and hiss at them 🙂. Then I chased them around with a huge teddy bear which was way more fun. The next day we got to see them again after going into the city. Overall Turin was pretty fun! 👍
