We visited Milan, Italy in the "off-season." The central plaza and latice-like cathedral gave mass new meaning - masses of people, masses of scooters, women riding bicycles in high-heals. It was if we were in an unmarked round-about with people exiting and entering at will. On our way to the "we-are-markedly-tourists-here office," we passed a public art exhibition on model elephants - irresistible! The small fortress and acreas of public park were a refuge. I fed Caroline as Philippe and William counted ducks. The second day we were there we sought out La Scala Opera House. We had actually seen it without knowing the first day. The Post Office had a more impressive exterior - My new cliché - you can't judge an international opera house by its facade...
Random note - The wait staff at our economy hotel were more fashionably dressed than my Sunday best. The breakfast buffet was as delicious as Mom's Thanksgiving pie + nutella.
