What a day! It was a gorgeous sunny day in Milan and my only regret was I had to fly back to Paris tonight. I loved the easy going pace and the cappaucino's were excellent. I am drinking my last cup before my driver picked me up from the hotel in Milan. Of course, that's probably why I am still "wired" some 7 hours later! Oh but wait....I did have an excellent expresso after my pasta dinner on Luftansa/Italia airline enroute to Paris so that may be keeping me up as well. Also, my second regret of the day was wearing my uniform on this deadhead flight as I couldn't enjoy any red wine that was served free with the pasta dinner on my flight. I love the way the Europeans enjoy life....too bad they will eventually run out of money. Today was a National Labor Day holiday for all of Europe, but it looks like there were Union strikes and parades in most major cities. Really too bad.
I took more pics of my day which I posted on Facebook. Most of my time was spent at the Milan Train Station, which had a open aired market place outside. That was fun! I also walked all through the station, which was literally wide open with very little security so I took a video of the trains inside. Not sure how to post that yet...but will try to do that soon. I got some fun video at the train station.
After spending a couple of hours there I ended up at Martin's sidewalk bar and had a ham and mushroom pizza and a couple of beers. I took my book The Distant Land of My Father ,that I got from Corinne via Lindsay, and read it while waiting on my pizza. It was a great afternoon! Oh by the way, my next great adventure will be in Shanghai (theme of that book) when I depart for the Far East again May 26-June 5. I will get that schedule out soon.
Ok, it is now 2am....and I am now starting to fade. I am having a good trip....just wish I could have you all here to enjoy it with me...then it would be great! Until tomorrow......
