Merry Christmas!

Milan.

We spent just a couple of days in Milan and we had a good time. We stayed at an interesting (read: shady) hotel room one night and then switched to a much better and nicer hotel for the second night. We spent one night at a Christmas market where Phil's wallet was stolen! We were so shocked and felt so bad!

Here are some of our highlights from our short stay in Milan:

*The Duomo. How did they build those cathedrals without power tools?
*We got to see a privatley owned Carivaggio piece that was amazing.
*Toured the beautiful Scala opera house.
*We were able to see The Last Supper. So amazing to see that in person!
*Window shopping at the Galleria.

Here are the pictures!





















Stay tuned for the last part of our trip- Germany!

London,

I LOVE London. I've been before but I loved it so much more this time around. I love the way people dress, I love the way the city feels, I love everything. Despite our jetlag, we were able to enjoy ourselves and have a great time.
Here are some our favorite things....

*Eating amazing fish & chips. Simply delicious.
*The Tate Modern Museum
*Best Lentil Soup ever.
*Walking around to find Banksy wall graffiti
*Loving how easy it was to ride the tube.

One thing that was not my favorite (I know this will make my friends mad but whatev...) was Wicked. We saw it and thought it was LAME! Would have much rather seen Les Mis, or anything else. I think I would have liked it a lot more if I was 15 years old. Sorry to all you die-hard Wicked fans out there, but I had to get it off my chest!

Anyway, on to the pictures!

Westminster Abbey-I think this is my favorite place in all of London






The British Museum...totally awesome. I could probably spend a whole week in there!



The interior of the Natural History Museum




A small Christmas Market



London Bridge











A possible Banksy?

We're Back!

We just got back from a fabulous and fun trip to London, Milan and Germany. We had a great time and I have a million pictures to post but here is just one that I took from a Christmas Market in Germany. This picture just gets me in the Christmas mood. More to come soon!
