{Milan} 13 March 2011

We had a nice surprise..........Suzanne (my cousin) e-mailed early last week and told me she had a business trip to Milan :D We drove up today to spend the day with her-she arrived about an hour before we got there--we met her at her hotel. It was a rainy day, but we had a WONDERFUL time exploring Milan.

The Duomo is magnificient. There was Mass being held as we walked around inside.


Suzanne in Milan!

Gelato :D

Castello

After visiting the museum, we took the metro back to the Duomo and had pizza made in a wood oven for lunch. A perfect way to spend a Sunday!

Enjoy :D

Ciao!
