Milan







We meandered into the heart of the old district in Milan today and hung out for a few hours. Leonardo is rumored to have spent a vast majority of the productive years of his career working in Milan, so the city has a soft spot for him.



















While the city of Milan may have a soft spot for Leonadro, Noelle has a
soft spot for whoppers at Burger King. (Biggest smile of the week.)


While all the pasta has been great, it was nice (in a sick way) to have a burger and fries. We actually found a Japanese place for dinner!










It's considered good luck to spin on the small testicles of the bull in one of the plazas. No idea why it's considered good luck, but it is. The locals wander by, do their business with the bull, and move on.


















The bull is much worse for the wear.



The Duomo was amazing. Almost as large as St. Peter's Basilica, but not as crowded. The inside of the Duomo was good, but the roof tour was awsome. Standard for our visit, we had to climb stairs.




The rooftop of the Duomo was incredible. Here's a few shots.
