Milano, the city. Not the Pepperidge Farm cookie name.

Agenda: big-a duomo, fried cheese place, gelato, galleria, opera house.

Highlights:

Milano duomo--huge and imposing with scary goth-like statues. Also, it's always under construction due to Italy's law that although churches aren't tax exempt, buildings that are under construction are. I guess people get used to the eternal scaffolding.

Chantal, during the noteworthy gelato-buying adventure (see blog, below). She willingly took one for the team and approached the gelato-selling van with her backpack strapped on and her goal firmly in mind. I was impressed at her ability to hold her own against the pushy italians, and I appreciate her commitment to our pact to eat gelato each day in Italy. Mint chocolate chip gelato never tasted better.
