Tyler & Angela: Milan, Italy

Milano. Our first Italian city. We have looked forward to being in Italy for a long time, and it's good to be here. Milan is not on the top of our Italian city list, but it was a good stop. We stayed in an apartment that we had all to ourselves for three nights. It was really great. The only negative was that it was about forty minutes to the centre by bus and metro, but it gave us a chance to see more Milan than we thought we would. Milan, overall, is a fairly nice city. It's quite big and yet there is not a lot of sights to see. There are some nice churches, a lot of stores, and a Last Supper. Da Vinci's Last Supper is in one of the churches here, but we did not see it because there is a two week waiting list. We know what it looks like though. We spent a lot of time walking the streets looking at buildings but not searching for many things in particular. One highlight was the fact that the UEFA Champions League Final for European football occurred on Saturday night while we were there. One of Milan's teams, FC Internazionale, was playing Bayern Munich from Germany for the championship of Europe. It was quite the mob Saturday night in the main square. They were showing the game on two huge screens there. We opted to watch the game in a local pizzeria located away from the intense fans and air horns. A great atmosphere there as well though. Milan won and it was fun to be a (small) part of it.
