We leave our bikes and luggage in Certosa and hop the train to the big city.
Share bikes abound even in small cities in Italy. Here are Milan’s
We have both sights and errands on the program. Starting with San Maurizio and its amazing frescos.
The organ
The patron and some saints
Wonderfully detailed Noah’s ark
Historical inaccuracy identified! Everyone knows that there aren’t unicorns around anymore because Noah forgot them.
And another church with several intact 6th century mosaics.
Milan’s castle
Good statue in the main piazza
Milan’s duomo. Not the biggest, but the frostingiest I think.
Amazing! There are about 40,000 statues
Good idea to raise some money for restoration?
Shopping everywhere - from this, the original and very posh Galleria.
To this boxer shorts dispenser – haven’t seen this kind of convenience in undergarment procurement since Tokyo!
Dinner (crepes and beer) with some of Eric’s ex-coworkers who were over for work. Rob, Larry, Ram. Someone hit the Ferrari store!
On the way back to our “Monastery Hostel” we saw this. Apparently this mutual sellout is one of the best places to eat in Milan. Go figure!
