Italy {Milan}

 The last time I'd been to Europe {8 years ago}we briefly stopped in Milan. 

It was so brief I didn't have the opportunity to see any of Milan

other than the train station. So it was nice that this time when we flew into Milan

we actually got to spend some time there. The even better part is that locals

showed us around their town. We walked around the touristy locations

with some non-touristy locations mixed in. My friend Pia introduced us

to the most delicious street food for which Milan is known for called

panzerotti, which are these yummy fritters stuffed with cheeses, veggies and ham.

I'd go back to Milan just for those alone, they were that good!
