Italy

I am now in Italy, and almost caught you all up on my travels so far.
I started out for 2 nights in Milan. Same thing i got in late and just crashed at the hostel. Yesterday i walked around and saw the sights. I dislike Milan. It is wickedly expensive, and there are a few sights to see, and then you feel like you should shower and get the heck out of there. I went to Il Duomo, which is this HUGE gothic catherdral. It is totally insane the outside of this thing. You go in and it looks like almost every other cathedral, and you don't realize that it is really any bigger than anything else. I wandered down the famous shopping streets, but i have no idea what they are called. Fell in and out of love with Italian shoes. They are often SOO beautiful, but the price makes on want to vomit. I however did find a pair of Jimmy Choo's which is like the GOD of womens shoes. I even touched them. I am not sure if I am allowed to. Ithink that you have to have a bankroll of at least 1million dollars to even look at them. But i picked them up!!!! then i turned them over. And then i put them down and ran very quickly away. Thew were 700 euros... which is about $1000. I briefly debated sleeping in bus stations, and begging for food and hand outs, however i don't know if people would take pity on me when i have shoes made by gods hands on my feet! As i actually considered the possiblity of buying them, i removed myself from the store.
I also tried my first Italian Gelato. It is different than the 'Italian Gelato' in places like France and Germany. It is also VERY yummy! May have a new obsession to add to my sweet tooth list.

As i disliked Milan i left today and am in Florence. I like this place a whole lot more. Spent half a day here walking around, and am going to Pisa tomorrow. I think i am getting Europed out. I just like beaches, and cant wait to head to Egypt. However after Pisa is Rome... so i am thinking that will be pretty amazing. Maybe get me back on track!!
