DAY 1 (Attempt to Update)

So this week, I need to catch up on a lot of work before finals. I have a few essays due... ranging from 1 to 6 pages.. so I´m gonna get on that, but I also want to update about my trip. So hopefully, I can get a post-per day. Some things to look forward to reading about.. my entire 10 day trip to italy, the BULL FIGHT i went to, andddd i´m going to morocco this weekend. yeeee.

DAY 1: Milan

So the metro closes from 1:30am to 6:00am and of course, we book our flight to leave Madrid at 6:25. So instead of paying for a taxi in the middle of the night, we took metro around 12:30 and spent the night in the airport drinking calimochos (red wine and coca cola). not a bad combination.

Anyway, the only thing I saw in Milan, was the train station and McDonalds. It was overcast and starting to sprinkle..so we decided to just find food and a train to Venice. Apparently, there´s a beautiful church and the fresco, ¨The Last Supper¨.. but, other that that I can´t say I really missed out too much. esp since i can only window shop in this famous fashion capital.

looks like Grand Central Station

For some reason, I didn´t realize that Venice is the city filled with canals. So, I was warmly welcomed by a huge canal immediately after we walked out of the train station. AMAZING. We walked around admiring the beautiful masks and murano glass on a mission to find a recommended restaurant. We got a distracted.. and took a GONDOLA RIDE! he dropped the price from 20euros to 10euros... so we got suckered into it. It was the best way to start the trip though!

i was really excited, okay?

my point of view.

For dinner, I wanted a lasagna or meatballs.. but instead, I tried squid-ink pasta. =) and after our first restaurant.. we realized.. we should never eat the bread. The basket was 7.50euros.. (almost the price of my meal).
