Monday morning Madison and I woke up early and left for the train station, a ten min walk from our apartment. The train ride was about 2 1/2 hours I just slept and read. The train station in Milan is huge and beautiful. The hotel we were staying at was within walking distance from the train station so we made our way to Hotel Napolean. Madison has a family friend Named Elio who lives in Italy and was in Milan for business. He was our tour guide for the day. We went to lunch, went to the main piazza where the duomo was. So big, so many pigeons, so pretty. We went inside of the Duomo, which is a church and walked around inside. We basically saw all the sights. Everyone in Milan is dressed to impress, it is the fashion capital so it makes sense. That night we went out to a very nice restaurant, it is so nice having someone who speaks Italian with you, it is so much easier and convenient, I really hope I can learn it eventually. Milan is very different from Florence, it is much bigger and more commercial, I liked it but prefer Florence. I am going back with my fashion marketing class in April so I shall return.
