Milan

Pizza in the piazza

Where's the chocolate??!!?!

The first day of our trip was great! We took three planes and a long taxi drive (from a crazy guy!) to get to our flat in Milan. When we got here we settled in, took a little rest and then Mia and I went out to explore! Probably in the first minute of walking around outside I was already sweating from head to toe because it is so HOT! Honestly I could make scrambled eggs on the side walk! Thankfully in the restaurants we passed there were mists that would spray us with a cool breeze of water so we didn’t burn to death! We walked around for a bit and saw some cool stores and restaurants. Honestly I would say for the 20 minutes we walked around we saw about 15 shoe stores! Like it’s crazy! We went home and got our mom and dad to take them to a restaurant we found. At the restaurant I got a huge cheese pizza and to drink I got Fanta. I have decided every time I go somewhere and it’s an option I will get Fanta because it’s so delicious! At the dinner the mosquitos were eating us (Mia) alive. There were so many mosquitos! I didn’t get bit though because mosquitos don’t like me and I always have my fast reflexes and swat them off, but Mia was just getting eaten alive. It was like the mosquitos thought she was a big feast! Our waiter, like the taxi driver, was crazy. He kept asking me if I wanted beer and wine and he was just sooooooooooo CRAZY! After dinner we went to a little ice cream shop. At the ice cream shop I got straciatella ice cream. It is one of my favourite ice creams! But….they didn’t get any chocolate on it. They just got the vanilla part and missed all the CHOCOLATE!!! I WAS SO UPSET! It was outrageous! My favourite ice cream and they miss the best part - CHOCOLATE!! It kind of ruined my night! Just kidding! I had so much fun! After ice cream we were going to see the big duomo church but I had really bad jet lag so we didn’t. Also when we got home it turned out we weren’t even going in the right direction so it was okay.  Before I went to bed I watched an episode of American Ninja Warrior and then I went to bed. The day was really fun! Italy is one of my faves!:)

Fun Fact: People on the streets go up to you and tell you they will give u a bracelet for free. If you take it, which we didn’t, they will immediately ask you to pay for it!?!!?! It’s cheap, they said it was free then they charge you! We got asked like ten times and one time the guy tried to force the bracelet on my wrist!!!!!!!!
