Firenze a Milano [Florence to Milan]

Today I slept in.. but still managed to wake up before 8:45. I finished packing (which seems to take longer each time), ate breakfast and began my search for a camera. After an hour or two of searching, I found a Canon shop. I have a new snazzy digital Canon to work my magic, and the photos look great so far.

first shot of many photos on the new camera. (this is on the train.)

I caught the 12:00 train out of Florence and made it to Milan around two. Next I found my way to Marco's work, dropped my bags with him and began doing the Milanese tradition - shopping.

the Galleria - supposedly Europe's oldest mall.

another shot.

Piazza del Duomo. note the Duomo on the right and the entrance to the Galleria on the left.

the Duomo. beautiful.

Six hours later, I met back up with Marco (empty handed and with full-ish pockets), and we headed home to shower and go out. I still haven't quite adjusted to Italian time: we had dinner at 10:00. After a delicious meal and a couple glasses of wine, it's time to hit the sack.

Sorry the blogs have been so short the last couple of days. I just haven't been doing much touring.. Shopping, reading and eating have prevailed. I'm not sure what tomorrow holds. Depending on the weather, we may visit the lakes, run around town or just relax. I'll try to take more photos! :)
