The highlight of the day was a castle sitting on the Adagie river, the same river we were by in Trento, it was a natural fortress to guard the town of Verona. It was filled with many great works of art, and had lots of history to see.
Today we are in Milan, we arrived here last night after a full day of touring the Italian countryside yesterday. Our first stop was Garda Lake, we walked around an old town situated on a peninsula in the lake. The coolest part was the Castle guarding the entrance to the town.
Our next stop was a medieval town located high on the hills above the Bergamo it was a cool old town to see. There were castle walls, old churches, and narrow streets. Everything you might expect a town to look like that has existed for over 500 years. We stopped at an Art Museum that had some interesting art to view.
After touring all day we drove across the countryside to Milan. It struck me on how we were still in Italy, yet if I were dropped into the middle of the Italian countryside I wouldn't be able to tell if I were in Italy or a farming community in the U.S.
Today we are touring Milan, and all the history in it. Tomorrow comes Mass at an old Catholic church, and then we get to see a soccer game here in Milan.
