Dad got home Saturday evening and we
still weren't sure where to go on vacation. Mom took a nap after
packing for Panama only to wake up and find out we were headed to
Milan! It was funny how long it took us to realize that going to
Italy would be the best trip possible. Great food, great sites, great
people.
Before flying to Milan, we went down to
Houston for my cousin Kayli's birthday party. Glenn picked us up at
the airport, we had a fun party (I beat my sister at an Xbox dancing
game – doubling her score – but then got beat by my cousin
Bethany).
Made it to Milano, fashion capital of
the world. Mom and I immediately started modeling for photos.
My old companion and close friend
Matthew (pronouced: Mattew) came to meet up with us. We had some
great pizza and a fun time catching up. My mom asked why we took the
trip to Napoli last year when all pizza in Italy is so tasty.
Milan isn't much of a tourist city, but
does have the beautiful Duomo. For me, Italy's Rome and Milan are
like China's Beijing and Shanghai. Milan is very business-oriented
just like Shanghai.
“NON LICE”
Victor Reyes, my former Zone Leader in
Sicily lives in Milan and was able to meet up to explore a little and
get some ice cream. He was my Zone Leader when I was serving with
Anziano Destefanis so it was especially fun to have the three of us
back together. We just wish that Anziano Acerson could have made it
too.
The Duomo is the fourth largest church
in Europe.
On the tram.
Getting our first gelato this trip : D
An Arch that Napoleon had built.
Stopping for a drink
Dragging the suitcases around felt like
we were having a transfer day or something. Haha.
We got passed by a massive group of
teenage girls.
Victor and I had to hold Matthew back from chasing
after them.
Pizza for lunch, Pizza for dinner. Day
= Success.
