Milan

Cappuccinos, cannolis, and gelato - ooooh my : ) Oh, and motorcycles and Prada. Those are a few of my favorite things that consumed our weekend in Milan! We chose this weekend to go to Milan because it was the weekend of the international motorcycle show that unveiled the 2010 model of the BMW GS Adventure that Brian and I will buy early next year. YAY!! The show was very impressive - every type of motorcycle you could imagine was there. Plus, everything you could ever think to put on a motorcyle was on display. And BMW's sponsored stunt rider, Chris Pfeiffer, was there doing tricks! Seriously, watch that video - he is freakin awesome. He did all of those tricks at the show we attended - only not on the top of a building.

Foreshadowing...

My dream scooter : )

The rest of the weekend, we enjoyed downtown Milan! The Duomo, the Aperitivos (what we called, all you can eat snacks), the luxurious shopping - we did it all! One of the highlights was seeing da Vinci's Last Supper. It was breathtaking!

You can climb to the top for an amazing view of the city and the cathedral! Where's Waldo? : )

In my hands, I hold a calzone that is made of delicious fried pastry bread and the yummiest tomato and cheese filling. Look around the tiny alley where I'm standing - it's packed for a reason!

Yum. 13 gorgeous Prada heels

Shopping! There were plenty of Lamborghinis among the Fiat planters.

  1. What a wonderful weekend...thanks for sharing. The show looked amazing and it sounds like Milan is a calzone/cannoli wunderplatz. Prada...I'm so hoping that one of those pairs lives in your closet :) And the motorcycle becomes you, Brian.
