A sleepy little town in August...not this year!

I arrived in Torino (expecting a town where everyone leaves in August and many businesses are shut down for holiday, but I happened to have stubbled upon about 20,000 extra people!  Torino is hosting the World Masters GAmes...older people Olympics!  It's like a huge party here!  These pictures are from the parade of the opening ceremony...the flame is in the last two pictures!
