MILAN AND VERONA!!

This past weekend my roommates and i hopped on a plane and flew north to MILAN!!! When we got there it was much colder than Rome but that wasn't going to stop us! We found our hostel checked in and went on our way shopping and to see the doumo. Shopping in Milan was very expensive but it was such a neat experience. Wandering around town and window shopping was so much fun! When we got to the center of town we saw the doumo. It was amazing and so beautiful! It amazes me that something that big and beautiful was built so many years ago and is still standing in the middle of town.

We decided to climb to the top of the doumo! 250 steps was a piece of cake compared to climbing to the top of the leaning tower of pisa! The views from the top where incredible!

On Saturday we left Milan and took at 2 hour train east to Verona! The city of Romeo and Juliet! Verona was absolutely beautiful! We went to see Juliet's balcony and just roamed around the town!

Where's my Romeo??

people come from all over the world to write their name on the wall!

Our trip this weekend was great! Verona is my favorite city that I have visited so far! We ended with a 8 hour train ride back to Rome. This weekend we are heading to the beautiful town of Tuscany!
