Milan!

After a breakfast at the Fenice Palace, we set off for our four hour trip to Milan. Upon arrival, we had about an hour to wonder around the fashion capital of Italy. Never before during this course have we stuck out so much as Americans. We met up at La Scala, an opera house where we originally had booked opera tickets. Unfortunately, the opera is on strike. We had the opportunity to watch some singers rehearse for a concert. They were amazing and had everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor.

 The class moved to the Duomo, one of the largest gothic style cathedrals in the world. We could not walk to the top today because the fog was so thick that the top could barely be seen from the ground. Hopefully we will have clear weather and make the climb up tomorrow! Milan looks promising for shopping. Tomorrow we will see Di Vinci’s “The Last Supper” and take advantage of free time during the day and evening. Ciao!
