Milan

16 July: In the morning, we went to Milan and saw perhaps the best museum of the trip, the Castello Sforsesco. We then went to Sta. Maria Delle Grazie and viewed Leonardo's "Last Supper." We did some walking and spent an hour or so in the area of the Duomo and then we went to Verona to see the colisseum and a fortress.
