Milano

Went to Milan this weekend, finally, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now; didn’t think I’d get the chance. I stayed with a girl I met back on Ios, Marta, who showed me around the city where I saw a church (big surprise), some big ass graveyard, the football stadium and of course THAT fabulous shopping strip! Actually, the city wasn’t anything too spectacular (sorry Milano), but I had a nice trip. I didn’t even bring my camera along the little tour Marta gave me, so no pics. Sorry about that! But like I said: nothing missed.

I stayed in the heart of the city, which is pretty modern so pretty boring. Boston is probably the largest urban-type city I’ve seen and have to compare with, and Boston was definitely more interesting than Milan- what wit all dem’ brick buildings and all!

Overall, it was a nice weekend. I had some good wine, thick-dough pizza (as opposed to the thin, southern style), panini and possibly the best Tiramisu I’ve ever had (we went to some famous restaurant for the last two, called Primo Guisto).

Not much else going atm, but maybe I'll head to Florence next weekend and visit good ole' Chris Lee, who is apparently here working or studying- or something. It would be good to see my old friend, who showed me the path way back in the genesis of my travels. If not for him, well, all might have been lost..
