WINDOW SHOPPING IN ITALY

I think it is safe to say that everyone

who reads this blogs likes stores

and enjoy especially looking at the displays.

We were in Parma on a Sunday and

the stores were all closed, which

maybe wasn't a bad think.  This is a very

nice place and generally thought to

have one of the highest standards

of living in Italy so I was looking
forward to doing some window shopping.

There are the cutest baby/childrens

clothing shops in Italy.

Very unusal light fixtures, buy fun.

My favorite.  She is guarding the store.

STARTING IN MILAN

When coming to Milan our journey

always starts or ends in Milan.  This trip

it was going to be a short couple of days,

but we had planned a couple fun things

that we had not done before.  Unfortunately

I can't show them to you.  I some how

lost all of my first day pictures.

Not wanting to leave here without

any I got up our last morning very

early and ran around taking some

quick shots of Milan.  But first

you need the coffee.

I don't think this truck had 2 inches on

either side.  Space is at a premium.

Not a lot to show of a otherwise

good picture taking day but we

have the memories.  I didn't

lose the most important pictures

of our last evening with our

friends Gabriella and Rino.

They are the reason we keep

returning to Milano.
