Weekend in Italy

We had another four day weekend and five of us decided to go to Italy together. Our flight to Milan left on Friday morning. We had to take a train to the airport, which took about an hour. The airline was called Easyjet, it reminded me of Southwest. There are no assigned seats and the carryons must be small! One nice thing about this airline was their leniency about carrying liquids on the plane! Once we landed in Milan, the bus ride to our hotel took another hour! We made it to the hotel with out any problems and then went to walk around the area. We found a restaurant nearby and ordered some Italian pizza.

The next morning we ventured out to Duomo, which is the center of Milan. Duomo was so crowded! There were a ton of shops and restaurants everywhere! We saw a few scultures around the area and took some pictures, then went back to the hotel to get ready to go out. This was also the day Milan played Munich in Barcelona for the Soccer Championships. There were people wearing Milan jerseys everywhere. The metro started getting really crowded when we got to the hotel and when we left to get back on the metro, the Duomo exit was closed! I think it was because of all the people who were soccer fans. We went down a few more stops to find an Italian restaurant. We found one right by the river and the pasta was delicious! After dinner we headed downtown to check out Milan's night life. We didn't stay at the clubs for long, but we had a good time!

Our flight back to Paris was delayed four hours! We weren't able to check the status of our plane so we had no idea until we went to check in for our flight. So, we sat at the airport for four hours! I am pretty happy to be back in Paris rather than Milan, but I am starting to miss Colorado! It's so humid here and people pack onto the metro no matter how much space is left!
