A day trip to Milano, and time on the water...


A quick shot of Milan -- specifically, the Duomo


and the Galleria, where we had outrageously good but overpriced caffe and biscotti while watching the Obvious Tourists wander by.



and a few hours cruising Lake Como. Villas, fountains, and landscapes...

Did you by chance happen to go up on the roof of the Duomo? I was over there two years ago for a tour on behalf of Gargoyle Books and one of my fond memories of Milan is the amazing view you can get from the rooftop among all the spires. (Though I do have to say that my fear of heights kicked in big time when my wife asked me to take pictures - something about the angles and seeing everything from the tiny view screen while standing on a sloping roof made me want to get down again in a hurry.)

There is also a small restaurant inside the shopping plaza across the street that has a little balcony that looks out onto the upper reaches of the Duomo. It's a lovely spot for lunch and the food was excellent.

I hope you had a wonderful trip!
