Random: Italy Trip

Wow! I can't believe it will soon be 2 months ago that i jetted off to Milan with a couple of great girlfriends! I had a blast and just wanted to share some of my experience with you.

This is our first day in Milan, we were headed out to get something to eat!


Part of the neighborhood we were surrounded by


One thing Milan has is ALOT of Graffiti, here's a sample.


Can you guess what we had for our first dinner?




You guess correctly, if you guessed....PIZZA!


Got very acquainted with the transit system REAL QUICK! after a couple of trial and errors we finally got the hang of it and even enjoyed some Italian entertainment


That's me on the bus, having my photo taken. I sat next to this gentleman that I got to know :)


Nancy our negotiator trying to get a good deal for Stephanie's Prada Bag!! and that she did!


Our first stop was the Famous Duomo


Nancy tasting a chestnut. I know Nat King Cole sung about it but he never say anything about how they taste which was not to my taste bud's liking but at least i did try it :)


Some of the sights and streets of Duomo


At night


Our next venture was to Venice






Me on the steps of Venice


Step striking a pose...well several poses ;)










more sites of Venice


Delicious Gelato!


Our last full day we were back in Milan but this time we stopped off at a gigantic flea market! It was awesome we all found something, boots, sweaters, food, bags. It certainly was the bargain highlight of our trip!




I really couldn't begin to tell you what type of seafood all this was




this photo looks like octupus....yikes!


I will say this these chicken wings were so dog-gon good!


Can't remember what building this was but i thought it was so cool



Well the day we were leaving it rained which was perfect because we had rain free weather even though it was a little chilly. I enjoyed myself and had so much fun with ladies I went with!
