In and around Milan

It really is quite a beautiful city, especially if you have the money to enjoy it.  But it can be experienced on the cheap since the subways are only a Euro and the tram is essentially free.  Luckily the food is cheaper than France and the wine is cheaper than water... literally.  Unfortunately for us it was as cold as ice and snowed a bit while we were trekking around.  At least the espresso can be had for only a Euro.
