a note on traveling

I always have a lot of fun just walking around cities.  I found out a lot of information about the day passes for Milan’s metro and bus system but eventually decided to never partake.  walking everywhere allows you to see all of the city instead just what the tourists see.  plus you get lost a lot more and stumble into things you hadn’t planned or take detours when you see things that interest you.

although, your feet hate you later.

in my other trips I have not usually had such a long list of things I wanted to see as I did for Milan.  in hindsight, I actually think I took the weekend a little too quickly and tried to see too much.  at times it felt less like a leisurely trip and more like a scavenger hunt.  don’t get me wrong; I had a fantastic time!  I think in the future though I will try to walk a little more slowly.
