Today was an exciting day. We explored more of Milan and visited some of the city's famous paintings and ancient ruins.

Check out the prices for this water! No thanks!
These little cars fascinate me!
While on the free Milan walking tour, we learned about the ancient ruins of a Roman Theatre that were discovered during a renovation of Borsa Italiana, the Italian Stock Exchange. During the tour, there wasn't much information on how to see the ruins, but when we returned to the hotel after the walking tour, we did some research. After a few emails, we were booked on an English-speaking tour for students.

Another tiny car!
A flea market we stumbled upon
I loved this little waterfall located outside of an office in Milan.
Waiting for our admission time to see The Last Supper
Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper
I'm not much into artwork but it was a really neat experience to see the REAL painting of The Last Supper. They only allow a small group in at once and you must wait in several air chambers before being admitted to the painting's location. Once there, you have about 15 minutes to explore.

Walking around Milan at night
Today was another amazing day in Milan! It was quite exciting to see the real Last Supper. I highly recommend it if in Milan. Tomorrow we say goodbye to Milan and head to Florence.
