Today, at my request, we skipped the gym and did a bit of walking around Alessandria. We ended up at the library and the above pictures are of an exhibit at the entrance. They are made of papier mache and were created by an artist over the course of seven years. I think that we've mentioned before how much we like the fact that Alessandria emphasizes the arts and here is yet another example. We enjoyed our time catching up on a few weeks worth of Newsweek and Time magazines. Kim discovered their hot drinks vending machine and found herself going back twice for the hot chocolate. At .40 Euro, it's the best bargain in town!
Walking home just a bit after 5PM, it's already dark and all of the holiday street lights are alive and twinkling. It's cold, in the 30's (2C), and people are dressed in their winter best.
It's holiday shopping time and folks are out doing their part to buck up the economy.
