Ok, ok, we haven't posted a whole lot lately. It's only because we've been traveling a bunch, so we haven't had time to blog. Here's a quick recap of where we've been recently:
ROME - 3 days
Rome wasn't built in a day (don't you just hate cliches?), and it was hard enough to see all of it in 3 days. Nevertheless, we tried, as we got to see the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Baths at Caracalla, St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, and everything in between. My favorite was the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums. It's hard to express how impressive the Sistine Chapel is, especially given how much Italian and Renaissance art we've seen on this trip; the works in the chapel blow pretty much everything else out of the water.
MILAN - 2 days
Milan was an impressive city. It's certainly newer and more modern than most of the cities that we've been to in Italy, but it still retains a lot of old-world feel and charm. The main cathedral was especially memorable. The facade and exterior walls were incredibly detailed and artistic, and the interior is lined with a wealth of awesome stained glass windows. We also did plenty of window shopping in Milan, as it's the fashion capital of Italy. Plus, as Lucia mentioned, we had martinis at the Four Seasons and managed to talk our way into a private Tom Ford event. Plenty of memories from Milan!
More to come soon about Verona, the Lakes, and Bergamo.
Arrivederci!
