Our day consisted of a lot of travel. We woke up early, chowed down some breakfast, including delicious pear chocolate pastries. Then we hopped onto the vaporetto, which was slow as usual, then onto a bus, and finally found our train. It was a long ride, but luckily we passed through a beautiful countryside.
Upon our arrival in Milan, we learned how to navigate the metro and trams after a lot of trouble and finally made it to our hostel. We settled down, in the right room this time, grabbed a crepe (photo below) and went out again to go to the Duomo, a large cathedral. Unfortunately our skirts were not long enough so we were not let in.
Instead, we wandered around the square and through and area filled with tons of designed clothes. We noticed that, while the women were dressed very fashionably, many of the younger men looked slightly thug-ish. Is that the new and upcoming fashion for young men?
As we circulated the area we chanced upon delicious food. I had a delicious gelato today including a lemon-mint and a passion fruit. We al voted for passion fruit as Flavor of the Day. We also passed some pastry shops filled with goodies! (food photos below) Lastly, Amy and Sarah were delighted by the McDonald's play place her in Italy. They have DDR and sationary bikes on which to race, and mazes. (photo of Amy and Sarah playing on the bikes below)
