Milan Day 3

Today I went for a wander to a Vegan bakery and found a small market euch was fun. I also walked through this mall/park area with all the modern buildings in Milan (according to the Internet) and it was pretty nice. I imagine when it is warm and a weekend it would be super busy!

On the way to the bakery I also went by someone filming something - likes real production company. I first went by the food cars and was like ??? Then all the lights and stuff. Then I was waiting to cross the crosswalk and there was a person all wrapped in bandages with a blanket on and I was like what in the world? Like you couldn’t see their face at all and it was pretty cold out (I was all bundled up in my layers) so they must have been freezing and then was like oh! They must be in what they are filming and waiting until they are ready for them. So that was fun.

The treats place had lots of good stuff - a lemon meringue tart, fruit tarts (one chocolate one vanilla), a lemon puff pastry thing, and a pistachio maritozzo (bread with a pistachio cream), and a pistachio mousse treat. The mouse was just okay, but the other things were pretty good. We have an Italian Vegan bakery near us in Berlin and their treats are amazing and their pistachio cream is way better than this one was. Still tasty, but not as good. I remember Raymond commenting when we were in Tuscany why is the Italian bakery back in Berlin better than here?!? I don‘t know. I don’t know if this is more what the non-vegan ones taste like since I have obviously never had them and maybe the one in Berlin is not as traditional and we just like it more? Who knows.

Then I wandered through Chinatown again looking at all the cute stores and grocery stores and all the fun things. This hotel is in a perfect location for that!

We went back down there for dumplings for dinner again cause they were so tasty but we also found a place with vegan gelato mochi so had to try some. We got mixed berry, chocolate, and yuzu lemon and they were pretty good. Not as good as last nights, but tasty.

I realized as we were eating dinner that I have been enjoying Milan more than on previous trips. I think part of it is I am wandering in weird areas that are not main tourist spots (expect for maybe Chinatown) so it is not that busy. I just remember trying to walk by the Duomo last time and there were so many people all over the place. So I have been enjoying my weird neighborhood walks.もっと詳しく
