cobblestoned streets, a medieval church and the da vinci's last supper

cobblestoned streets, a medieval church and the da vinci's last supper fresco: is that all worth walking all the way from the metro?

you bet it was! the only thing is, i did not get to see the fresco. it turned out the waiting list to see it like 2 weeks! i could not believe how popular that place was ever since the "the vinci code" movie. lol! well, at least there is something to look forward to in my next visit! and you bet, i am going to walk all the back there again!

it was a slow afternoon, on the way to nowhere...

i always enjoy taking the train and just go around in circles all day! good i had a week long metro pass so i can go anywhere and anytime when i want to!

these are real orchids against an abstract painting.

seen at the lobby of my hotel in milan, i thought the wonderful curves of nature blended well with the colors and textures of the abstract behind.
