Last Stop

I was a mix of emotions coming into Milano. On the one hand, I was growing tired and longed for free water. But on the other, I wanted to make the most of the final part of my amazing journey through Italy. Like the other destinations, the weather was not a setback, and the buildings along the street were lined with stunning terraces. Walking the spire was a highlight of my time (despite the pain of climbing so many stairs), especially with the incredible view of Milano from its top. I also had a blast watching people spin the the bull in the shopping mall; I find traditions like that very interesting. The inside of the cathedral was quite the sight, as well. I’ve never seen so much stained glass in one place before!!! It was insanely beautiful to see the rest of the church, and to see the people kneeled in prayer. The shopping is always a plus, of course! I have to admit that I was a little intimidated by the amount of high end shops around the area. That, and my fashion sense isn’t the best, so I couldn’t help but to feel a tad out of place. But still, I was astonished to be around the sights of photographs and TV’s. I hope to come back one day, and to show others the amazing sights and shopping opportunities in Milano! Perhaps I should save up for that! Combined with Lake Como, this was a perfect end to an already perfect trip. I had a wonderful time!
