There is something about being in high places that gives a person a sense of wonder. Especially when you have to work a little to get to the top. Today, we climbed to the top of the Duomo in Milan. When we finally reached the top, the whole of Milan stretched out before us. It’s truly a sight to behold, and one that you have to experience in person. This seems to be a common theme I have found in all the cities we visited in Italy. The heights, the food, the sights. It all needs to be taken in firsthand. I spent the first half of the day trying to find a way to commemorate my time in the country. I found a nice bag for my folks back home. Then we climbed the Duomo as a group (which was not as bad a walk as the tower in Bologna). We soaked in the sights for what could be the last time and retreated back to the ground floor. Just across the street, a unique gelato shop was serving product in the shape of flowers. Some friends and I grabbed a bite, and spent the rest of the day wondering around the town finding new places to eat. We came across the birthplace of pizza rolls and I got to try what the first pizza rolls might have been like. Then we went to the top of a roof just on the side of the Cathedral to enjoy some fine wine. It couldn’t have been a better way to end the day.
