Arrival in Milan

On Wednesday morning we embarked on the final leg of our incredible Italian Tour. We left Tuscany by train and headed to Milan. You could not imagine to more different environments. Milan is a bustling city with lots of Italian businesses headquartered here. Rick Steves says "For every church in Rome there is a bank in Milan". Violet and Grace were excited to visit Milan as it is the fashion capital of the world.

We checked into our hotel and head toward the city center. We stopped by the Milan Cathedral to tour this magnificent structure. Violet pointed out the Gothic design of the exterior and we were not disappointed when we toured the inside. It's not as big as St. Peter's at the Vatican, but it sure did seem pretty big.

Window shopping ruled the rest of the afternoon. All of the top designers had storefronts around the city. Check out our photos from the afternoon. Soldaddy forgot the camera so we had to make due with the iPhone.

Ciao!

Violet and Grace
