We decided we deserved to sleep in yet again. After a hotel breakfast of a croissant and cappacino we took the Metro to the main square. We went into the beautifully ornate Duomo (Cathedral) where we missed the start of Palm Sunday mass by a half hour. The palms were wonderfully different than in the States and there were so many people. After taking everything in from the inside, we did our daily stairs and climbed to the roof. We got to walk on the actual roof. We explored the entire roof and saw Milan from every angle. After the Duomo, we decided to find the Italian MTV studios which just happened to be in that very square! Unfortunately it was the weekend so we couldn't get on TV. So we took pictures what we decided was the MTV studio. We went in search of the Torino (little bull) in the Galleria so we could join in the tradition of spinning on the mosaic tile Torino and get good luck. We each had our turns spinning and giving ourselves 'good luck'.
Afterwards, we walked to the Sforcia Castle and continued down the street in search of Brera street where we would later have our Happy Hour dinner. Having done an extensive amount of walking around we decided to continue our walk and go down the Monte Napoleone Street and admire the famous designer stores. We then continued our way to more affordable stores so we could actually shop.
We went back to the Sforcia and found the unfinished Michealangelo sculpture, 'Pieta'. It was very somber but still cool to see the last sculpture that Michealangelo worked on before he died. Afterwards we found our way back to La Brera street and went to Bar Brera for happy hour. We each got a beer (London Pride :) and a antipasta bar came with it!
