Ciao from Milano, Italy!

It's been a very hectic week between my two trips. Being a jet setter is not as easy as it looks... But getting to see a new city every weekend has been pretty cool, I must admit. This weekend I stayed with my cousin Loredana in Milan and my two roommates came along too. She has the cutest 5mo old son who had a smile that made you melt. The weather was amazing, a balmy 30c which was like 85f! Its the summer time we are use to in the states and it was a nice change. We ate good, having authentic Italian meals twice a day. I don't think I've ever eaten that much in my life...ever! My favorite was Loredana’s homemade Gnocchi but the gelato everyday was a treat too. Also Note to self whenever traveling back to Milan dress very nicely because everyone there seems to be into high fashion. The Dumo is also there which is the 4th largest cathedral in the world. Avoid the men selling bracelets there. There is a practically a Dolce & Gabbana on every corner not that I could afford it but it was just neat to see.

It was also the start of fashion week so there were many models out. I probably bought more the I should have but it was all gifts. My family was wonderful to me here and I hope to repay them one day when they come and visit the US. Although the culture is so different then what I'm use to I still feel some connection to my Italian side here. I definitely plan to return Milan one day hopefully when I have more money haha... It's hard to resist when you are In the fashion capital of the world. Until the next city.. I will blog sooner though don't worry next weekend is my relaxation weekend!
