Sean Lennon Day 9, Milan, ITA

The first day in Milan was quite relaxing. We got in around noon, had to wait a little while for our rooms, but they're nice enough so it's all good.

I went out to the downtown core, the Duomo, got accosted by a street person who put a bracelet on my wrist, saw a crazy cathedral, went to a good little creperie for breakfast/lunch, and, for the first time, finally got truly lost in a city. Turns out we were a 40 minute subway ride from our point of origin. It was fun though. Got to see lots of great architecture, an anti-US demonstration that included police with riot gear (unfortunately, Mike, who was exploring with me yet again, was wearing a jacket with the word "American" on it... talk about awkward...) and we found a few cool little neighbourhoods we'll explore more tomorrow, as we have another day off!

We met up with Chris, our Tour Manager, after walking around all afternoon, had a glass of wine in a little market area near the hotel, then went out for dinner at a great little restaurant across the street from our hotel where I had an authentic Italian pizza. Molto Buon.
