Milan, Day 2

On the last day of our European adventure, we woke up to a beautiful day!

We ate a wonderful breakfast, and then walked to the Parco Sempione, where we enjoyed touring the aquarium and the gardens.

Our first stop was at the aquarium.

After the acquarium, we walked through the park, and enjoyed beautiful architecture and flowers.

I think this was the most hydrangeas I'd ever seen in one spot!

They were beautiful!

We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon, walking through the park, and strolling through the city.

We grabbed a quick sandwich, and then headed to see Leonardo daVinci's The Last Supper. We didn't book our tickets very far in advance, so we got lucky to get them! We were able to get them through the host at our bed and breakfast. We were so happy we did, as it was worth it to see the painting. No pictures are allowed, so we just have some photos of buildings in the area that we walked around before and after the viewing.

We enjoyed the rest of our afternoon and evening by sitting on our patio, drinking some Italian prosecco, eating the last bits of our Dumon chocolates, and enjoying some real Italian pizza at Pizza OK. It's kind of a funny name for a pizza place, huh? But it was delicious, and the perfect end to our vacation.
