Surprised by my delight with Milan. Great transport, easy to use. Not tons of tourists and very walkable.
There were lots of different public art pieces, besides the usual.
Fashion City. Needle and thread on corner
Fashion Week started the day we left.
...thread knot across the street.
Free water. Typical in Europe.
Erected due to controversy in financial issues. Pretty surprising.
Lots of public art.
Amazing mural.
This is an interesting building.
Exclusive shopping big, $$ brand names.
Took at 6 hour walking tour. Saw the main sites with the highlight being the famous fresco by Leonardo di Vinci, The Last Supper.
I had a special activity on the last afternoon, a mosiac class. Very fun with an excellent instructor.
I got to use Murano glass for my project which is pretty special. Hope I get it home in good shape.
Concentration 3.5 hours!!!
Lots of fun, glad it got finished. This would have been 3 days at home.
Duomo di Milano. Quite a spectacular cathederal.
We had a lovely Airbnb. Cheryl worked so hard planning all the details. A great job!!!
I was in the loft. Not fun climbing stairs.
We made our own limoncello spritzers.
Went out for Milanese dinner. Good and huge portions. Had leftovers for next day.
Last day in Milan. Visited this amazing church
Sweet little funky coffee shop.
I ventured off last afternoon for my mosiac class. Ran into cool stadium.
Always enjoy street art.
So Milan was well loved. Day we left was the beginning of fashion week, so perfect time to get out of town.
I flew out early to meet Julian in Bilboa, Spain. Had a full and wonderful time with Mike and Cheryl. They head for beer land in Munich, Germany for Octoberfest. Enjoy.
