It seems everyone in Milan has modelesque good looks & height, what's in the water?! It's my last night in the city and I've thoroughly enjoyed the action pack couple of days we've had here. Today we went to la Teatre de Scala (Scala Opera House workshop), where we got a behind the scenes look at the sets and costumes for production. We also went to the Zucchi museum, which houses the world's largest collection of printing blocks and printed our own bags!
One of the things i've enjoyed most is just hopping on the metro and exploring the city. We've stumbled upon wonderful shops, hip bars and restaurants, and the most beautiful scenery ever. It's been a fantastic start to our trip!
surrounded by old printing blocks @ the Zucchi museum!
hand printed fabric from the blocks! (so beautiful!)
all the colorful spools of silk for weaving textiles (in Como)
remind me why we don't serve gelato in the US?!
heart shaped margherita pizza at dinner! I love Italy..
Tommorrow we have a pleasant 6 hour train ride to Paris through the Swiss Alps! I'm having an amazing experience already and can't wait to share my adventures along the way!

Those printing blocks are so cool and that pizza is too cute. Sounds like you're having an amazing trip :)
ReplyDeleteThat hand printed fabric is amazing! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd the heart-shaped pizza is too cute!
I love your vest in the first picture - and how you seem to be color coordinated with the old printing blocks...so cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree, why don't we serve gelato in the States? Actually, there's a gelato shop at a mall about 35 miles from where I live - it's heavenly.
Glad you're having a great time! :)

ReplyDeleteThe heart-shaped pizza is so cute! and now i'm even more determined to go to Milan after seeing the fabrics! x
ReplyDeleteWhoa, there's no gelato where you're from?! Seriously??
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more trip updates!

ReplyDeleteLove the print!!
ReplyDeleteMall at Millenia in Orlando has a gelato place in the food court and it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteA little behind in the commenting, but I hope you LOVED the Swiss Alps. They're so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAlso, there is a gelato chain here (at least in Texas) called Paciugo that has gelato that's just as good as Italy's, I promise!
