This past Saturday I took a day trip with Florence for Fun to Milan for fashion week! It was about a 2 1/2 hour bus ride from Florence. About 60 kids from Florence went on the trip. My roommates Kelsey and Nissa went, along with Nissa's boyfriend, Josh. We had a tour guide lead us around the city. We first stopped at the gigantic duomo. We got to go inside of it and look around. It was gorgeous inside! It was full of stained glass and marble floors. Our tour guide said it was the 4th largest cathedral in the world!! After the duomo we went to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, an elegant glass arcade thought to be the world's oldest shopping mall. It had stores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton in it. It also had a lot of nice restaurants in it. We got to see the end of a fashion show inside of the mall. It was sooo cool to be at a real fashion show in MILAN! The models were like 6 feet tall wearing 6 inch heels. Their outfits were really interesting and their hair was wrapped up in this turban looking things. So here is a video of what I caught at the end of the fashion show.
After we watched the end of the fashion show we went to a little cafe right next to the gigantic duomo for lunch. I packed my lunch so I just sat with my roommates while they ate and I had my PB&J sandwich. We went to La Scala after lunch. La Scala is one of the world's leading opera houses! It was neat to see. We also went to a museum in La Scala. There were really neat costumes that they wore. Then we walked through the Milan fashion district. Saw Versace, Anna Piu and Dolce & Gabbana. Went back to the mall and got to see the beginning of another fashion show! We got up close this time so I was able to see everything! It was so neat!! Then we headed out back to Florence. We stopped at a Gelato place on the outskirts of Milan. We got crepes with gelato on top! It was absolutely delicious!!! I got a Nutella crepe with strawberry gelato on top. So good! Overall a great time in Milan!
