Dec 6-9: Milan, Italy
We travelled with our moms down to Milan. It’s a quick train ride, which we passed drinking wine and playing cards. We stayed in a lovely apartment and kicked off our trip with delicious pizza and cocktails at Dry.
The next day, we headed out for a 3 hour walking tour of the city. It included 15 minutes with The Last Supper, which was really pretty cool. They have preserved it in a beautiful way and I, as it turns out, knew very little about it. It was cold outside, but we lasted through the whole tour - making our way to the Castle, the Duomo, and La Scala. We went for lunch at a very nice little cafe after our tour and then walked through the markets that surrounded the castle. That part was kind of a shitshow.
On Sunday we went to see the Duomo. The inside is gorgeous, but the roofs were really the standout for all of us. For dinner we went to Eataly and bought fresh pasta to cook up for dinner. It was delicious and we drank too much wine, but I have no regrets.
