Aww Italy, Part V (Goodbye for now)

 One more time: Milan 

After our travels to the many historic and tourist attractive towns, we were back to a city where modern art and design is the big thing. Our hostess (also our great niece) there has spent the last few years studying design, so we had a wonderful time going to the latest shops and cafes.

Mike and Yoshiko in their fedoras.

As Yoshiko and I wandered around looking at the merch, Mike was busy trying out seats.






Some  seats are more comfy than others.






 


A wire seating area was an interesting look, but a nix on comfort.























Bathroom doors, which one is yours?













Of course we had to fit in a visit to a modern art museum as well as see the historic Castello Sforzesco. This medieval fortification was built in the 15th century


On our last day in Milan we toured our nephew's school--American School of Milan. He is the Director of this impressive school. I came away wishing that our schools in America could match what is offered there.












One thing we brought home was the the recipe for an Italian Spritz. When my stubby legs wore out and we still had things to see and do, there is always a little cafe or bar to serve a spritz. Just one drink and I was good for a few more steps. Unfortunately this cute server stayed in Milan.
