from Lake Como to Milan



Leaving Varenna through the tunnel (the train just before ours).

The Dominican Monastery in Milan which is home to Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper.

No pictures of the actual painting on the wall of the former refectory are permitted. This is a much smaller print reproduction hanging on a wall of an adjacent room at the exit.

We visited the Duomo in the center of Milan. The 4th largest church in Europe...and solid marble. St. Augustine and St. Ambrose were baptized (near) here in Milan.

While we had thoroughly enjoyed out six weeks of wonder, we were all ready to sleep in our own beds and see our sweet dog, Morgan.  And,so it was, with conflicting emotions, we bid farewell to the trip of a lifetime!
