Il Duomo in MilanCrista and I had an adventure filled weekend in Italy. We took the night bus from Pamplona and got to Barcelona at 10:30. People in Barcelona speak Catalàn, which is the weirdest mix of French and Spanish. Don't they know this is not Burger King, you have to choose one or the other! We walked around and then hung at the beach until our bus left at 3:30 am for the airport. We got to Milan friday morning and saw most of the touristy things by the afternoon. We crashed at 5 pm since we had both been up for 31 hours.
Saturday morning we took a train at 6 AM to Venice. We spent all day there, it was cloudy but great temperature! We Christmas shopped, took pictures and ate gelati. I wanted to stick my feet into the Adriatic Sea and accidentally slipped on the stairs and got water and sea weed all over myself ha. The video is great so check it out! Saturday night we took the late train back to Milan and crashed.
Sunday we caught up on some much needed sleep then tried to go see Da Vinci's Last Supper painting but the tickets were sold out for the next two months. Then we went to the park and found a great Christmas market. We got to see a cool light show and then saw Il Duomo lit up. It is the most impressive church I have ever seen.
Our hostel was not bad except somebody jacked all my toiletries. Monday we got up at 4:30, flew from Bergamo and got to see the Alps as the sun came up. I got to see two oceans and two mountain chains in one weekend. Are you jealous? :)
I am working on a 10 page art project due next week, so yes I am actually doing some school work(SHOCKER, I know). I made a bodacious(jimbo word?) packing list to come home, CAN'T WAIT!

Pictures of Il Duomo brought back terrible memories of the stinky gypsies hanging out there. But they made a believer out of me. I don't think my passport or money left my bosom once after that. Until then I thought gypsies were akin to unicorns. Who'd have thunk?
So glad you're having a great time. Hurry home.
Way to go Grace.
