Weekend in Milan & Siena

Milan
Lots of shopping!!!!!!!!!! I bought a great outfit for a night out on the town. My new fave store: H&M.
The Duomo of Milan is said to hold the nail from Jesus' crucifix but it is only shown to the public during select times of the year. The church had beautiful stained glass windows. We weren't allowed to take pics inside, but a I do have a couple of the outside. Hint: it's the white one with tons of spires.
On the train on the way back to Florence, I had the opportunity of taking pics of an incredible sunset-Hence all the photos.

Siena
A little shopping!! I bought a pair cute pair of sandals to go along with the outfit.
Smaller than Milan. Streets veer out from the center plaza. While eating lunch, we saw a man in tan suit and red hat who clowned around with the passerby's. Stephanie took us to Siena's Duomo. Most of the churches we'd seen so far were very wide and grand in scale. This one was very grand but narrow. Black and white marbled columns and an exquisite mabled floor.
It took about three hours each way to and from Siena, so we had a shorter time here than in Milan.
