Italy Trip - Milan

November 26, 2001 (Milan, Italy)
Milan is the industrial, banking and fashion capital of Italy. The main point of interest is the Duomo and surprisingly after visiting about a dozen other Duomos and churches on the trip thus far, this one did not disappoint. The grandiose nature and intricate artwork kept it interesting. Aside from that, there was not much else to see. The roads of Milan are extremely tough to navigate. Don't attempt to drive by yourself without a competent navigator.
