- Woke up at 6:30AM to get to the Campus Center by 7:50.
- Went to Vin to get coffee with Erin and Kate. Had them drink my coffee since I just wanted the change from the voucher. Coffee is yucky!
- Got on the bus to head to Milan.
- Promptly passed out.
- Got to Milan around 10.
- Walked to the duomo which actually didn't seem as large as some of the other churches we had seen before (Florence) and then we were set free until 1:45.
Duomo.- Went inside the duomo (unmiraculous) and did some shopping on the streets around it.
Shopping area near the duomo.- Wandered around and found a public park so we wandered through that before wandering out to find lunch at an overpriced cafe.
Park.- Went into a store called OVS to shop but didn't end up buying anything.
- Headed toward the castello so we could see it before it was time to meet.
- Saw the castello.
Castello tower.
Park inside the castello walls.- Met up with the rest of the group and headed to the European Commission's office in Milan to meet with a Commissioner (of Media?) who talked to us about how Europe needs to become more united and think at an EU level rather than at the level of individual countries. The EU essentially wants more cohesive cooperation from the countries rather than the preoccupation they have with individual power. The EU wants to be united like the US is. Anyway, it was interesting.
- Got back on the bus and came back to Alba by 6PM.
- Hung out at the apartment.
- Had crackers with peanut butter and jelly and frozen peas for dinner.
- Argued with a friend about the censorship of South Park.
- Music and Solitaire and chatting.
- Bed!
