From Milan with Love

"We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character."

Henry David Thorou

Today is our last day in Italy. Our last day in Europe. Milan is a nice city - this is undeniable. It has so many things to see that our two days here has not allowed us to even make a tiny dent. We did have the opportunity to see what we wanted to see - the great Duomo of Milan and the painting of the Last Supper which is housed in the Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie. And of course we saw many other buildings, statues and pigeons (yes - pigeons are everywhere in Europe - they speak more languages than you can imagine).

Today I can only think about two things. My very sore feet and coming home. This has been a great trip and we saw so much but there is nothing like coming home at the end of a long journey. Like Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz - "There's no place like home."

Yes, "There's no place like home!!"

Leonardo's painting "The Last Supper")

Self explanatory I hope!!
