We started the day with a nice stroll to the train station in Verona (Paige says strolled, Mic says we ran especially since we were rolling our luggage behind us). We made it with plenty of time to spare and caught the train to Milan right at 10:00. Finally got to the big city and Paige is all eyes. All this culture and she still lives for city life. Well, she’ll get it the next few days.
We dropped out bags at the hotel and headed out to experience one of the largest shopping streets here (Corso Buenos Aires). Okay, we all know Mic’s birthday was yesterday and officially she is a year older but boy did she feel it today! Paige ran us halfway to Germany and back it felt like and wanted to go in every third store, all the ones that had multiple floors and convenient stairs to get you from one level to the next. Let’s just say that by the time we made it back to the hotel (of course with purchases in hand) we were both so beat we didn’t even want to do anything else!
Paige zonked out at about 4:30 pm and hasn’t woken up since. She did buy some “Italian” style milk when we hit the grocery story down the street from our hotel and is in love! It is whole “fresh” milk that she swears is so good she had to drink the whole liter! Well that and some fresh mozzarella we bought should finish out her daily dairy intake for the day!
It’s a good thing she is getting her rest today, tomorrow we are off to the Duomo (HUGE cathedral), Gallaria Vittorio Emanuele II, La Scala (Opera house and museum), and shopping (okay, more browsing like in Zurich but tons of fun anyway) on Via della Spiga and Via Monte Napoleone. We’ll certainly be posting pictures from tomorrow’s adventures so we’ll see you back then!
