Another weekend - another European City - Milan.

 

 

 

 

Not having classes on Friday truly makes traveling a breeze. On
Thursday I ventured off to Milan, Italy. Upon arrival I was hoping for
warm, sunny weather that you would stereotype with the nation, however
the result was quite the opposite.

The first thing we decided the do once we were settled was to find the
famous church Duomo. When exiting the underground metro, I walked out
and right in front of me is this massive church (5th largest in the
world) with 135 detailed spires. It truly was breathtaking to see in
person. We took the never ending staircase to the top.

 

 

 

From up on top of Duomo we had some incredible views.  After climbing back to the bottom, we found a small gelato shop out in front of Duomo.

 

 

I had tickets to the AC Milan vs. Torino match at the San
Siro Stadium (Venue for this years champions league final). The
stadium itself was incredible.  It was wicked old but also holds over
81,000 people. The game ended 1-0 for Milan, thankfully all of the
seats are covered otherwise I would've been soaked as it poured all 90
minutes.

 

 

 

I did some more exploring around Milan due to the weather
restricting me from visiting Lake Comeau.  Instead I found some
cool soccer shops which naturally peaked my interest.

 

 

 

Overall Milan was an amazing city and highly recommend it. If you ever
go, you have to stop at Luini's and eat a Panzerotti!
