Last Day in Milan
9/11/11
We are leaving this fashionable city tomorrow morning on the 9:00 am train to Venice. Shawn successfully made it to the Formula 1 race (and back). He says he had a great day being a "tifosi" (which he says means "crazy Italian Ferrari fan"). He was pretty excited that after the race everyone ran out onto the track, he demonstrated for us how he jumped around like a happy little kid. Glad we put this stop into the itinerary.
Baylie and I had a great day. We saw the most amazing cemetery in the world! Whatever you would imagine an old Italian cemetery FILLED with monuments and statues would look like, it seemed more spectacular than that. It was called the Il Cimitero Monumentale. I guess a cemetery isn't any stranger than visiting a museum or old church, right? Now that I am describing how cool it was it seems a little odd.
So one observation from Milan that I wonder if we will see in other parts of Italy: the super high fashion lady, all dressed up with her hair and make-up perfectly done, wearing 4-inch heels...riding a bicycle, often with a large basket containing a small dog.
I know Baylie and I will continue to sample gelato throughout Italy! Our favorite so far, coconut.
