Milan

I was invited by Bocconi University in Milan, Italy to visit there campus this past weekend.  How fun to have a FREE trip to Milan!

I had the first afternoon to myself so I walked from my hotel to the Nagigli for some shopping and dinner.

The view of the canal that I walked the first night.
The delicious pasta I had for dinner.
And the tiramisu that I had for dessert!
I had the next morning free so I walked with a colleague to the Duomo.

The front of the Duomo.
Inside the Duomo.
We had the chance to walk to the top of the Duomo for a stunning view of the city.
The roof of the Duomo.


Then we walked to Michael's favorite gelato shop as a child - Toldo!


Oh my goodness, I'm dying!
I ordered three different flavors - chocolate (of course!), mint, and tiramisu.
In addition to spending a lot of time on the Bocconi campus, they also took us to the Molteni Furniture Company.  It wasn't the best way to spend an afternoon, but I did have a little fun with their iconic exclamation point!


That night we went out for dinner and drinks with the group. 


The next morning, I had a few more hours to myself to walk around the city in the early morning. 

At the Galleria.

Stepping on the bulls balls for luck.
