When we landed to the airport, we wait the for 45 minutes for my friend with his family to come (he was in a different flight), so we can take the car that we had booked to rent from there.
The car was a 9 seated Mercedes Vito. That is the first thing that we saw at Milan.

We, all together, took the car and (with the help of a GPS that I was brought with me) hitted for our hotel in the center of Milan. It was about 50 minutes driving in the "autostrade" the Italian word for the highway. (By the way, I gave a name to the woman's voice that my GPS was giving us the directions......."Miss Theodora"....... You'll have the honor to meet her later......
Well, we went to our Hotel and leave all of our things there and we decided to walk to the streets of Milan (we knew that a block away it was the biggest and the most wondreful train station of Italy).
So we went there to see it and to find something to eat.
As we went out of our Hotel this is the first image that we saw!!!!!
It was a "tram" (I don't know if you use that word in english, but it is a kind of small train -buplic transportation- that runs with electricity)
This "tram" was a "Coca Cola" advertisment!!! It was something special to se it moving in the dark with so many lights on it!!!!!!!
.......This is a trick that I used with the zoom of my camera to take this picture.
We ended to a nice "tavern" style store to eat. The kids ordered ...... PIZZA......... what else, and the we ordered spagetti, risoto, a salad and red whine to drink.
At the picture you can see some great sweets.
