It was onto Pavia, where we popped into the University, Christopher Columbus' alma mata. Finally we completed the circle by returning to Milan. If you don't have cool sunglasses, square toed shoes and a cell phone, you are a nobody in Italy. Guys spend at least 10 minutes combing their hair. Car washes do a booming business.
Small villages have massive churches.
The Milan cathedral is the 4th biggest in the world. Bologna would have the largest, except the Pope ordered them to stop mid-way through construction because he wanted the biggest. The confessional booths do a roaring business. Even our new tent even feels like a cathedral compared to the one we had last year. Sheila reckons that its all the beans they eat.
