After our trip to Lago Maggiore, we spent Sunday in Milano. I wish I had brought my pedometer as we walked and saw so much! We started by touring the Duomo and then headed over to the Poldi Pezzoli, a wonderful house museum recommended by Prof. Alden Gordon (our neighbor). There was a beautiful Botticelli that you could walk right up to and admire. The colors and details are amazing in his Madonna of the Book. (This internet picture does not show the whole painting.)
We stopped for lunch on our walk to Castello Sforzesco, visited the municipal aquarium, and walked through the farmers' market at Parco Sempione. We spent a couple of hours touring Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Technologia Leonardo da Vinci before closing time, and then went to the ancient church of Sant'Ambrogio.
We finished our day with dinner at Biffi's in the Galleria near the Duomo where Mark and I shared the Chateaubriand. Monday morning we toured the Duomo area with Malima and Ross before catching our train to Florence. Wow, we were so busy that we didn't even take many pictures!
