Milan

On our way to Switzerland, we made one last stop for the day in the Italian city of Milan. On our way from the train station to the main Cathedral, we came upon a sort-of flash mob. There was a DJ there, and there were people dancing, and it was kind of flashy. Anyways, the Cathedral is an immense white stone building with a huge courtyard. We climbed up the small stone passageway to the top of the Cathedral and sunbathed in the glorious sunshine. From the top of the church, we could see all over the city of Milan and even the Alps in the distance. The roof of this Duomo is quite amazing as it has hundreds of sculptures of saints in every nook and cranny and on all the spires. They are still undergoing restorations works on the main spire and on several pillars, but it still looks brilliantly white. After we toured the top, we climbed back down and walked around until we found the Castello Sforza. Castello Sforza is a Renaissance fortress and a former home of Leonardo da Vinci. From there, we made our way back to the train station, stopping at the aquarium to take some pictures of some fish that were in a fountain outside, and then we continued our journey to Bern, Switzerland.
