Milan and Leonardo's Last Supper

We took the train into Milan. We had prebooked tickets to see Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper painting. The painting was huge and in much better condition than we anticipated. The area of the church where the painting is housed had its roof torn off during WWII. The most disappointing part of the painting is that there is a doorway underneath the painting. Someone decided to enlarge the doorway and cut off Christ's feet in the painting.

The Duomo in Milan is also worth a visit. It is a very cool Gothic church. Brian and I rented an audioguide at this church and were glad we did. The guide told us that there is a bronze cross above the altar that contains a nail from Christ's crucifixion cross.

I am glad we saw the Duomo and Last Supper painting, but overall I strongly disliked Milan. It was extremely busy and lacking in any charm. I have absolutely no desire to ever return and could not wait to leave the madness behind.

After the headache of Milan, we decided to return to the pizzeria we found the night before. The staff at the restaurant remembered us from the previous night. They immediately brought us some free champagne. It was so good and I polished off both Brian's and my own glasses. The evening was great fun!
