In a fog ...

Once again to all the peeps out there, Happy Valentine's Day from Italy!

Just wanted to post to you that I visited the Mole Antonelliana a few hours ago. Consider it to be Torino's answer to the Sears Tower or Empire State Building. According to the brochure, it stands 167 meters and when it was built that high, it became the highest traditional brick building in the world.
I have seen it light up the night when I'm walking around the neighborhood I am staying and it is quite a sight. Kind of reminds me of seeing Mount Rushmore at night when on a family vacation many years ago. It's just huge and quite a sight. The only disappointment while I walked onto the observatory deck was that the city is once again in a mid-day fog. It's been foggy a lot during my days here. Bummer. But then again, a photo I will certainly take is one of the Mole Antonelliana at night.

Also, for the movie buffs out there, the Mole Antonelliana also houses the National Cinema Museum. There are numerous movies playing at any one time from Italian comedies, drama all the way to the Blues Brothers and Breakfast at Tiffany's. You name it, the Mole has likely got it. By the way, to tie in the Olympics, the flame did go to the top of the structure on the day of the Opening Ceremony in the late afternoon.

OK, I've got to go now. Ciao!
