Milan Trip

Baylee and I were excited to go to Milan, and boy, were we correct about it's beauty. We landed in Milan around 10 in the morning on Friday, and spent most of the day just walking around.

The First attraction: the Duomo of Milan, a beautiful cathedral, built with gothic architecture throughout. We had the chance to walk all around the Cathedral, getting to look at everything and anything that we could, including the roof. The roof of the Duomo was a couple hundred feet from the ground, so we got the chance to see a 360* view of all of Milan, and it was beautiful.

After the Duomo, Baylee and I walked around the area, window shopping and crowd-watching, until we stumbled into a wine store, in which I was lucky to find a beautiful bottle of wine that surpassed my every being, it was a Sparkling wine from Trento Alto Adige, that was made with the traditional method, in which sparkling wine is fermented in bottles. However, this sparkling wine as aged in Oak, which caused it to have an insane oaky flavor, along with buttery notes throughout. Overall, it was a beautiful wine and I recommend it to anyone that has the chance to try it. It was the Ferrari 2008 Riserva Lunelle, the bottle costs around 30 euro, which translates over to around 38 USD.

On our second day in Milan, we journeyed to the Fish Market of Milan, in which we found many different species of fish and crustacean. From the fish market, we ventured to the Center of Milan, to the Stadio, in which we found out about the interesting history of Milan, in which it had been under the rule of Napoleon for a while. After our walk around the Castello Sforza, we ventured back to the center of Milan, and enjoyed our day, eating what we wanted, drinking wine and enjoying each-other's company. 

Overall, I definitely recommend going to Milan if you do have the chance, as it truly is one of the most beautiful cities I have every been to, and I would definitely love to come back!
