July 11-12, Intern Weekend

This weekend, four American interns came to Italy. On Saturday, we met them at their hotel and took them out and around Milan a bit. We went to the Castle (which I haven't been to previously) and the Duomo. The castle really wasn't much... It was rather boring, to be honest. It was fun just to walk around. That night, we went out for aperitivo in Milan again, but this time in the canal region. We arrived at 6PM, right as the bars were opening, and had the entire place to ourselves. We sat by the canal (full of gross dead stuff) and ate to our hearts content. It was a very fun night. I guess it helps when Whirlpool's picking up the tab for part of it. Diego and his girlfriend met up with us and showed us to another bar, the Iguna.

The next day, we went to Bellagio and Varenna on Lago di Como to wander around and eat. Bellagio is nothing like the casino in Vegas. I was hoping they were more similar. The small town with lots of stairs felt like a piece of old, rich Italy. I wonder what it was like before....
