Since I was in these cities for only such a short time I thought it would be best to do one blog post for the three. I enjoyed each and every one of those cities. Now for the highlights. 

I was only in Milan for about 24 hours and I found it super relaxing. Since Milan is quite small I found myself slowly strolling throught the city to take it all in. Why did I go to Milan if I was only going to be there for a short time? Two reasons. When planning for this trip the ticket from Athens was super cheap. Second,  I wanted to see the last supper by Di Vinci. What an amazing experience that was. Although I do not have any pictures of that (photography was not allowed) that will be a moment I will never forget. Seeing the work of art faded as it is was memorable. We only had a 15 minute window to see it. So I sat there taking it all in and contemplating what that moment was like for Jesus and his disciples.  

 

I was only in Venice for a short time as well. Since there wasn’t a whole lot I wanted to do there and the fact that the city is fairly small I thought that one day would be a good enough time for his trip. Walking out of the train station in Venice the city was exactly like I pictured it. Beautiful! I think I favor cities with canals since the water plus the old building are so eye catching. While there I did an audio tour of the Grand Canal from this app that I have. For smaller cities this has been super helpful. Nerdy but helpful nonetheless.  

  

I was in Florence for a few nights which was a good change of pace. I visited the Duomo. Climbed up over 800 steps in a day to see two great views. Ate some Bistecca alla Fiorentino which was seriously a tasty steak. I saw the David statue by Michaelangelo which was massive but such an amazing sculpture. If you didn’t know I love art, sculpture specifically. In college that was one of my favorite classes which my roommates at the time would remember as I took up the living room to make my masterpieces. Haha. Although I have enjoyed this taste of Italy in these three cities I am looking forward to going to Rome for Easter weekend.
