Two weekends ago Jen, Celena, and I visited Milan. It was such a nice trip! Everything went really smoothly so we had plenty of time to just explore the city and hang out. We ate pizza, pasta, and gelato and drank Italian wine. Our small hotel was really cute, and we even had a little balcony off of our room.
The highlight of the trip was seeing the Duomo, which is a massive, gorgeous Cathedral in the center of Milan. It is definitely my favorite thing I have seen so far! Its exterior is covered in statues of Saints and other amazing little details. It was also cool because we got to go to the top of it and walk around the roof looking down on the city.
Also in Milan we visited the Castello Sforzesco, which is a huge mid evil castle with a beautiful fountain in front of it. Below is a picture of Celens, Me, and Jen at the fountain. What was most exciting about it was the museum inside that housed a fresco ceiling by Leonardo Di Vinci and Michael Angelo's last unfinished sculptor.
Milan is also one of the fashion capitals of the world, so of course we had to go shopping. We went to a couple of cute little markets that sold fresh foods and discount clothing and jewelry. We also walked up and down the streets in the fashion district and admired designer labels like Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, and Prada. Another site we saw was the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which is a glass covered galleria with shops and cafes.
Milan was just so much fun! It was great to have some time to just relax and site-see in a beautiful city. It was definitely the best trip so far.
