Milan Day 2

Today I did all the walking! I had wanted to go out to a grocery store we went to in Tuscany that always had good things to pick up a few things for lunch. It was about a half an hour walk away from downtown and was a nice area to wander. Milan is not the prettiest city, So I don’t have many photos from my wanderings, but it was a quiet residential area with small parks and stuff (and one park with lots of pups playing!). Unfortunately the grocery store had nothing I wanted so I was like okay, there is a vegan bakery out here so let’s go see what they have…only they are closed today! So that was kind of a wasted trip, though on the way back to the hotel I did find a different grocery store and they had everything I needed! Hooray!

I thought it would be a quick walk to get a few things and then relax until I meet up with Raymond with lunch, but I ended up getting back to the hotel just in time to make lunch for us and head over there! All the walking!

Then this afternoon I relaxed until Raymond got back from work. Then we went to explore Tomba di Manzoni. In the photos with the views over the city (the views from our room!) you can see the giant building right there. I thought it was a museum or an old palace or something, but it is a giant giant cemetery. I walked by it this morning on the way to the store and we went back this evening and saw what we could see while it quickly got dark. I might have to have another wander myself if I have time as it is so huge!

Then we got some ramen for dinner which was super good! Super spicy too! With these “meatballs” which were silky inside which was not the texture I was expecting! And some almond caramel mochi which was amazing! I am already trying to figure out how I will get back there tomorrow to get more! Might be my favorite thing we have had here thus far!

All in all a pretty good day. Nice walks and adventures even if they didn’t turn out how I expected :)Read more
