city center

I headed into the city center and actually accidentally walked right into the main tourist area.  I was trying to walk around it and come into it later in the day but took a different way than my morning plan originally was supposed to take me and found myself right in the thick of it all.

I stopped for a while in the Piazza la Scala and watched people for a while before I entered into the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.  this open air covered walkway between the Piazza La Scala and the Piazza Duomo is one of the main sights in Milan.  I read somewhere that it is the first mall ever.  it is absolutely beautiful in cast iron and glass.
