If I could sum up Milan in 3 words they would be: Gelato Trolly Shopping < I wish this was a real thing. Gelato because we somehow ended up being able to get gelato three times...no shame.) Trollies because the whole city center seemed to be run by these trolly railway things (some actually looked as if the ancient Romans had jaunted up to Milan in the B.C. times and put them together by hand). Shopping should be the most obvious one, I think over the weekend we saw at least 3 Louis Vuitton stores, 4 Prada shops, and an ENTIRE BLOCK dedicated to Dolce and Gabbana merchandise. And that is not even the tip of the iceberg people.
I made new friends!
Then Kira stole all of my friends.......
This guy was amazing. I'm sorry if you have ever seen anything like this before and aren't as excited as I was about him, but he carved a dragon out of a carrot. I don't know if I will ever see anything as magical again. Oh yeah, and those are flowers made out of turnips and beets (are they beets? they seem awfully huge).
Our first shopping stop.
Duomo
A beautiful park we found near the old Castle/Fort.
Ok so somebody needs to do this please:
Gelato Trolly Shopping: an amazing experience where a personal trolly takes you around Milan's best shopping streets while giving you complementary gelato served by Fabio.
16 days from today I will be returning to the U.S.A. It has been a wonderful journey and I am definitely sad to see this semester coming to a close. SO here is to making some memories these next two weeks in Copenhagen. I might not post again for a while but i'll be thinking about you all, and I can't wait to see most of you again in about 2 weeks!
also Happy Derby everyone!
Love, Becca
