Ahh I felt like I was with you, especially in Milan. I was reminded of how when I first arrived there many years ago (I was there with a college art history class) I was shocked at how much of a city it was and it felt so different compared to Rome or Florence, but it grew on me eventually. I had the best espresso there and enjoyed seeing The Last Supper. The city had its own charm!

Right? It was truly an experience of shock -- I am glad you can relate. Good espresso always helps.

I thought you would never ask! "Ciao Ciao" was my favorite song by far but I am thrilled for Blanco and Mahmood!! https://eurovisionworld.com/national/italy/sanremo-2022/la-rappresentante-di-lista-ciao-ciao
