In an unexpected twist in the path, I found myself in Italy. Falling for it's charm within minutes as I crossed the border, gazing wide eyed out of the train window as I glided over, under and in between rocky mountains my soul swirled and my heart swelled as I peered out at the old little stone villages perched in the mountain sides and giggled at the sudden bounce of the 'new' foreign/native language in my world. With a mixture of Grand old buildings and a nice dose of graffiti and grunge, Torino won me over swiftly with its humble but vibrant character. Baguettes transformed into Panini's and for the first time in my trip...I really truly found, good coffee. =) Whirlwind adventures to incredible coastlines with Magical strangers kept my dream like reality swirling and twirling in a new and wonderful dance that I now recognise as; il fascino di Italia ;) ♥
