Milan (2nd stop on our taste of Italy tour)

We arrived in Milan around 8 the first night of our trip. We however did not know where our hotel was. We bought a 90 minute metro ticket and attempted to get to what we thought was the closest train station. After running around (often in circles) in the the metro and being misguided multiple times we finally ended up at the train station we wanted to be at. Only to find out that we were still lost. We stopped to ask a lady for help and she guided us to a taxi guy because she did not know where our hotel was either. By this time it was 10:30 (Kevin admitted later he was thinking we might have to sleep at the train station) the taxi guy was very nice though and offered to take us to our hotel for 4 euros. We gladly accepted and were very happy to finally make it to our hotel safely.

The next day we headed to the Milan castle and then walked around a little quant park. Here we found some good entertainment. These women were working out in a large group with all there babies in strollers (great idea for Rexburg huh?) They even had their yoga mats with them.






We then made our way to the Milan Cathedral where we walked around inside and then went up to the top. Kevin and I both agreed that we love views so we would usually spend the extra money to go on top of things and see the view. The cathedral was amazing up top! There was so much detail and cool architecture. Plus an awesome view.








Following the cathedral we ate lunch and then headed over the mall that contained lots and lots of expensive things I will never be able to afford but they were still cool to look at. We of course had to stop by the bull and spin on his balls (they are supposed to be lucky). It was fun to look at all the expensive stuff and watch all these crazy people spending 2,000 euros on a purse! Overall Milan was fun but really busy.
