People were everywhere: it was a Sunday night stroll, with open-air shops under the lights and plenty of food and cheer. A nice tease, for these few hours were nearly the extent of sightseeing on a four-day visit for business.

Tuesday Two-fer
San Franciscans may recognize the street car below. Several of the same model, complete with Milanese livery, cruise the F Line. But this was taken on Foro Buonaparte in Milan a couple Sundays ago as we walked from the train station to dinner. Dinner was had in a ristorante within Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a place of vast indoor space hung with bird nets. One could stage cavalry charges inside, it was so huge. But the Duomo, just outside, took a bit more breath away.

Awesome shots.
The Duomo is spectacular in a ghastly way. My favourite building in Milan is the central railway station. Very fascist, very grand.
oooh! Jealous.I.AM.
