Lauren’s cousins woke up early this morning to get ready for school, so I was up by 7:45. After a breakfast of tea and some yummy pastries, we got cleaned up and ready to go. Took the bus to the train station and the train to Milan. Walked down to Piaza La Scala and then through Plaza Victorio Emmanuel (I’m totally going to spell all this wrong) out to the Duomo Plaza. Went into the cathedral, took some photos. This guy from Senegal tied these bracelets on our wrists saying “oh they’re free!” (not that he gave us a choice) and then demanded “a donation for africa.” I got him to leave us alone w/a 2 euro piece. Went back into the Victorio Emmanuel center to spin on the bull’s testicles. yay.

We basically just wandered around all day. Went to a public garden, all these little museums at the Sforza palace (totally spelled that wrong) then over to the archeology museum. We did do some window shopping but didn’t guy anything. It’s all too expensive! 

Had lunch outside at a little cafe place. Had pizza. Yum. I almost ate the whole thing but not quite. I’ve started to collect photographs of cats and photos of men in brightly colored pants. It’s quite amusing. 

I’m getting a bit of a sore throat and I’m quite tired. That’s not good =( But I’ll be ok… We’re waking up early tomorrow to head over to Como. Right now we’re watching Futurama in Italian with English subtitles. Interesting.

I’m trying to upload photos to facebook but it’s not working so well. I’ll do it later…
