Hello,
We are actually in Milan today, this 6th day of February. This is our 11th day in Europe and 13th day away from home. We are happy and ensconsed in a beautiful, warm apartment in Milan, Italy. Our host is Carston, who met us at the train station and has hosted us very nicely. We have all shared laughs and good discussions as well as some good food. This morning, Alex is recovering from a cold and we plan to visit Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia di Milao this morning before climbing aboard a train for our next destination, Verona. Yesterday we visited il Duomo –truly the most spectacular cathedral I have ever seen or could imagine. You will have to Google it for photos because I left my camera at home because of the rain. It is a breathtaking sight. We arrived there at about 5 p.m. and there were many people coming, after the work day, to light a candle, say a prayer or visit the confessional. Though I am not a Catholic, it was beautiful to see this example of how a church can fill the needs of it’s people. Quiet, meditative and incredibly beautiful. But now for the delayed photos from Day 6:
