,Hi!! Just a quick update. We left Houston on Friday, the 21st by Lufthansa via Frankfurt and arrived in Milan the same day. A few quick comments and impressions:
1. In Italian Milan is Milano, Florence is Firenze, Turin is Torino, Venice is Venezio and so on .....
2. Milan was great, shopper's paradise, big name brands - Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Christine Dior, Prada, Chanel etc, etc. Lots of little outdoor cafes all over the place, with great coffee. Statue of Leonardo Da Vinci.
3. Very good public transportation system, took the subway everywhere. Very few people speak English here but they do know how to say - No speak English :-)
4. From Milan, we went to Pisa (leaning tower of Pisa) but did not get to see the tower as a bus was waiting to take us to Il Ciocco, the site of the conference. We plan on seeing the tower on the way back home
5. The conference center at Il Ciocco is located at a high altitude and it was a breathtakingly beautiful 1hr and 30 min drive. Very green. Hard to describe in words. Will post pictures when I return home as there are only a couple of internet access stations in the hotel. Food that is served here is out of this world. Who knew pasta would taste so good :-)
More when I get a chance later :-) Adios
