In my opinion, the highlight of Milan is the Duomo and not to be missed. Since Jim and Sharon were only in Milan for one day, we pre-purchased tickets so that we didn't waste any of their time in line. Arriving at the Duomo about 9:15, we went straight up onto the roof. And what a roof it is! We also went to the Castello Sforzesco (now a museum, built and rebuilt during the years) since we had a little time before the train back to Todi.

| We were debating what the payment terms might be. |
 |
| And the hotel? What would that be like? |
 |
| The spires from the roof |
 |
| The detail of the carvings is amazing, particularly given that they are not visible from the ground. |
 |
| I love the way all the little ends are different. |
 |
| See the moon here? |
 |
| And little faces! |
 |
| The floor of the Duomo |
 |
| The scale is impressive |
 |
| I love the lacy carvings! |
 |
| The haut relief and perspective were amazing |
 |
| Just one panel in about 150 in the overall window |
 |
| I'd not been in the crypt before; small but beautiful |
And moving on to the Castello Sforzesco...
 |
| The incised stucco is lovely |
 |
| Jeremy and Granddad! |
 |
| Some of the fish were enormous! |
 |
| Who can resist a duckling? |
Love,
Alexandra
