Milan Italy
I'm sorry... but who doesn't love shopping, coffee, gelato, pasta, cheese, red wine & pastries??
In my 24 hour visit this May, I managed to have and do everything listed above... twice! ; )
This is my second post, journal the trip I took with my parents to Germany to visit my brother Ben and the side trips we were fortunate enough to take!
This is a picture of the Galleria in Milan Italy, built in 1861. It is the site for many luxury goods' shops, including Prada, Massimo Dutti (where Ben got my birthday scarf!), Gucci and Louis Vuitton. The Galleria connects two of Milan's most famous landmarks: The Duomo and the Teatro Alla Scala.
We went to Louis Vuitton and I was struck by how beautiful it was, even from the outside. There are marble floors leading to the entrance. Everything was so glamorous inside the two story store- I felt like I was in a museum.
Above: The Milan Cathedral, know for its Gothic architecture and my dad, walking up to it for a tour!
I loved it here! We really scored big time at dinner that night... getting a table for 4 at a restaurant called Maruzzella, a family-run Sicilian seafood place. I thought it was our best meal.. with a pitcher of red wine, oven baked pizza for me, bacon/egg-nog sauce pasta dish for my mom, ceviche for my dad and a traditional fried chicken dish for Ben.
We topped it all of with one tiramisu and four forks!ps. Thinking of Susanna - as she is enjoying her summer in Bologna Italy!!
