I went to The Castle Gallery which had many of the relics of 600 years of history of Milan, a lot of armor and weapons very unique hand made rifles. The craftsmanship of the etching is hard to describe on and almost impossible to photograph.

As I stay in Milan I realize how warm it gets outside, so the basic search for airconditioning or shade is constant. I have a great shaded area next to my hotel with an open Palazzo with large umbrellas. The space is new the complex is very new, there is a mall across the street, Milan is as modern as a city can get in Italy, unlike Florence, Rome, Pisa, Genova. The highway system is wide and clean, the bus and metro is not as wild and crazy as the others.


Here are few people I did see around the Plaza, mostly woman... they are the people who sit for a while and chat and Guys not so much.

Just a few more days in Milan then back to Germany for 10 days
