Oh The Places We’ll Go

We made it to Milan safely and easily after a boring and uneventful stay in Venice.  Now, let me just preface by saying, Venice isn’t all bad.  I’m sure if you stayed in the city center with someone you loved it’d be an absolute dream.  However, staying in a dump listening to romantic music in the blistering hot with your brother… doesn’t exactly sound appealing.

Our stay here in Milan has been alright.  Once again, everything is closed because of the holiday and nothing is open again until the very end of the month or the beginning of September.  The one thing we DID want to see, The Last Supper, in a church here in Milan, we couldn’t see.  Turns out the tickets to get into the church are SOLD OUT for the next two weeks straight.  Yes, two weeks.  We were amazed too.  And pissed off. 

We had quite an excursion trying to find a WC around here (bathroom), and walking to the San Siro.  San Siro, for you non-football fans, is the Holy Grail of football stadiums here in Milan.  Both Inter Milan and AC Milan play football there.  The stadium there is HUGE.  No wonder people love their football here, the stadiums are like cathedrals. 

Other than that, we went to a church here and walked around a lot.  Lots of pigeons.  Less people than in Venice.  Nice. 

We are heading to Torino tomorrow before going to Barcelona, since the train for tomorrow night was sold out (boo).  We hope Torino is nice and quiet like Florence was.  I wanna see all of the stuff ffrom the olympics.  It was there in winter 2006.

Sorry this post is so short.  The computer i’m on is very glitchy and is hard to type on.  Not a lot of time left to type! 

Finally, thanks for all of the great comments and messages.  We love reading them when we have the chance to stop in and read them.  We’re actively sending postcards so if you never gave me your address you can still email it to me at cat_brad@yahoo.com

Miss everyone and hope things are good in California (and the US in general).

Ciao.
