Pinerolo

On Wednesday, May 22 we transferred to the city of Pinerolo. We were very excited to learn that we could see the Alps from the city.




Upon our arrival we were greeted by Sergio, President of the Pinerolo club, and Marco, the coordinator of events for our time in Pinerolo. We enjoyed lunch at our very comfortable hotel.




Following lunch we had a guided tour of the local cavalry museum. Soldiers and riders from all over the world used to come to Pinerolo to train at the famous Caprilli Riding School  Their collection of cavalry uniforms from all over the world is vast.



Dinner in the evening was at a market place called "Eataly." Eataly focuses on high quality foods by small, local producers. We enjoyed browsing their selection. Who knew there were so many types of pasta!
