Milan Blog Post

Milan was short and sweet. We arrived in Milan in the afternoon, where we had to say goodbye to Mario, the best bus driver in the world. We trekked from the bus to the hotel with all of our luggage. Once we got to the hotel we go ready for the day and then went out. We had to go shopping in Milan. I got a bunch of new clothes for pretty cheap. Walking around Milan was very fun and exciting. It was exciting to see the fashion capitol of the world! I went to the Opera on Sunday. La Scala was great, the music was beautiful and breathtaking. Even though it was a six-hour opera, it was worth it. I would like to see it again with a better seat, since for the entire first act I very unfortunately couldn’t see anything, but luckily for the last two I could see and it was amazing. It definitely made me want to see all the operas in the series. I really enjoyed being in big city, it was fun to explore and shop and eat. I am really glad we ended our trip with Milan, just because it was a fancy hotel and nice to have that at the end. Milan was a blast, I am so happy I was able to come on this trip! It’s been the time of my life. I would really like to thank Derfler and Chipman for everything! Thanks everyone who came, it’s been an amazing trip.
