Our time in Milan was actually really nice. Despite the conspicuous absence on trees, and the oppressive heat we managed to have a lovely time. Charlie's friend Dan was such a great host, we enjoyed breakfast every morning on his terrace and spent the days wondering about the city. I can say without a doubt that my favorite Duomo of our entire trip of Italy was the Duomo in Milan.
A small red light bulb in the dome marks the spot where one of the nails reputedly from the Crucifixion of Christ has been placed.
This cathedral took five centuries to complete and is the fourth largest in the world. The outside is made completely of marble and is so intricate that one could spend hours pondering just one corner of the church.

This is what I found to be the most interesting piece in the Duomo. This is a statue representing St Bartholomew. Draped around him is not a robe, but his own skin. He was apparently skinned alive and beheaded. Disturbing.
Charlie sees the light.
One of my favorite ladies, Mita, stole me from Dan and Charlie when they were watching the world cup at a local pub. We went on a little shopping adventure and I got these shoes, which I love. Above all else, comfort!

Sara: I wonder if the Italians would find it weird if I decided to go for a swim in this fountain?
Late night gelato run. Dan took us to a great haunt that where many students gather in the evenings. Thank you for a wonderful several days Dan! Now it is your turn to come visit us!
