Milan. Crazy meeting you here.

Kathleen's dad was passing through Milan for business. So, we decided to pop on down for a visit and explore Milan. After a short 4 hour train ride through Alps we arrived at Milan's main station. Kathleen's dad, Joe, was there waiting for us. And we were off!

After dropping off our bags we headed straight for the Doumo. We were surprised to find the square next to it filled with confetti. We wondered what had happened and went for some pizza and beer. After polishing off many slices and some "death by chocolate" type dessert we walked back into the square, only to find thousands of costumed kids in an all out crazy string and confetti war. Neither off us had seen anything like it. We know we couldn't beat them so we joined them. With a couple of cans of crazy string we jump into the middle of the action. What scene. We were all smiles as we headed inside the Doumo with tiny pieces of colored paper in our hair. What an amazing church. Inspiring a real sense of awe. We even got to see "The Last Can." It's revealed only to those that are ready to receive it.

We finally left the Doumo area for a bit of relaxation at Joe's hotel. Then it was cigar time. Joe and I have been waiting since December to share a cigar. We didn't really get the proper chance in Grindelwald. But we took care of that with a nice Jack and Seven at our hotel, before diving into some killer authentic Italian food down the street. Lungs and souls completely satisfied it was time to say goodnight and goodbye. Joe had to catch a 5am flight the next morning.

Kathleen and I stayed for some shopping and further eating before training back to Zürich late Sunday afternoon. Nothing like seizing the day with family!
