Milano

Today we traveled by bus to Milano 
The Cenacolo aka The Last Supper  is in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan 
Our guide, Girardo, helped us understand the masterpiece.(which among other more important things,  is a picture of men eating a meal in a room where men ate meals ) no pic allowed natch

Then on to La Scala famed opera house


Then through the Galleria- a mighty fancy mall where Prada vies with Versace and Gucci for the euros of the Milanese 
   
To the city cathedral dedicated to the birth of Mary 


Girardo at work 

We split up and later met to return home at this statue of Leonardo (he needs no surname in these parts)
