in focus

We have had a busy day!
After a salami and cheese based breakfast we went to the brera gallery for a couple of hours. A lot of the paintings are from italian artists.there were a few beautiful paintings by rafael.

The day then took us to the milan duomo,a gothic looking cathedral. It looks like a church out of batman! I have never seen such large stained glass. Michelle and I snapped lots of photos that we will try to post asap.

While not a major tourist destination, the people who live here are very friendly and helpful. There is a beautiful park near the u.s. Consulate.

the food has been outstanding. In 24 hours we have sampled octopus, salami, prosciutto, canolia, of course pizza! Not in that order :)

Tomorrow we leave for florence where we will stay for 3 days.

Ciao until tomorrow!
