Arrivaderci Italia! How I shall miss thee.

It's amazing how three days in a different country can change your life. Being in Italy honestly felt like home. I got along with the people their, and the sites were just magnificent, it didn't hurt that the food was AMAZING! I did enjoy that by the end of our stay this cafe we frequented knew our orders. It really did feel like home. Definitely would return in a heart beat, probably not to Milano, but to Roma, and Venice. Can't wait to come back :)  photo IMG_0521_zpse8e3964b.jpg The amazing Breakfast we had at our Hotel.  photo IMG_0545_zps057be78d.jpg We had lot's of time so we were able to go back to the Castello Sforcezco. Their museums were opened and it was awesome because we only paid 3 euros and were able to see four museums in the castle.  photo IMG_0538_zps96ee4ece.jpg  photo IMG_0546_zps0860fccd.jpg The ceilings in each room were painted beautifully! This is only some but all of them had beautiful art painted on the ceiling.  photo IMG_0683_zpsc69c7501.jpg We were able to visit the instrument museum, and I saw so many antique piano's it was amazing.  photo IMG_0603_zps511b8192.jpg We were able to see a Michelangelo, it was amazing. We weren't sure if it was the real Michelangelo, but it is! The guy that made the sisteen chapel.  photo IMG_0644_zps3a40c211.jpg The view from out walk up a million stairs at the castle. All the museums are located in the castle and you walk to various places, the museums kind of interconnect. It was a good two to three hours of just walking in and out of various museums and absorbing different forms of art.  photo IMG_0707_zpsab4901d5.jpg At the end,we were able to go into the Egyptian exhibit we saw a mummy and various artifacts that were collected in a dig.  photo IMG_0697_zps4b096aa6.jpg  photo IMG_0701_zps427546f8.jpg We had lots of fun, and I am deeply saddened to have left Italy, however I know that I will return again! Also tonight we are going to an Opera, The Marriage of Figaro so we are excited about that! And can't wait to post photos! :D
