Days 1920-1930: Europe 2012 - Part 5 - Milan

My sister was forced to take popcorn kernels,
which led to attack of the pigeons!

Outside the Duomo -- the fourth largest cathedral in the world!

The floors of the Duomo. Future sartorial inspiration.

Inside the Duomo -- packed with people!

The archway to sartorial heaven -- Prada, Gucci, etc.

My mom touching an overly touched part
of the Duomo facade.

The Milanese version of Grand Central Station.

Delicious gelato at the corner of Grand Central
Milanese Station. Recommended by a local
Chinese-Italian citizen, crazy.

Days 1920-1930: Europe 2012 - Part 4 - Pisa, Cinque Terre, Geno(v)a

What a ham my dad is.

Ding!

Chillin'.

All these pictures were my mom's idea!

In Vernazza, the fourth of five towns comprising Cinque Terre

The streets of Genoa (English: Genova)

A church? I think? In Genoa, that I know.

I love this building because it's all 2D!
None of the sculptures and arches on the facade are real!

The view from our hotel room. Gorgeoso!

Days 1920-1930: Europe 2012 - Part 3 - Florence

Firenze!

Beautiful building.

I was worried I couldn't enter the basilica/something religious
in my shorts so I wrapped my scarf into a skirt.

Inside the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore

A longer version of said scarf-skirt.

The ceiling of the Basilica. Incredible.

After a climb of at least 500 steps, we reached the top. Breathtaking.

My sister and I in St. Michelangelo Square.
Another trek -- up a hill this time!

My sister and her new boyfriend. She is very in love.

Look how happy and cute my parents are!

At Piazza San Croce

One of the beautiful Florence buildings lit up at night.

Days 1920-1930: Europe 2012 - Part 2 - Venice

My sister is the map master!

My sister wearing a souvenir hat I bought for a pal!

Basilica di San Marco

On our gondola ride!

Gran Rialto bridge.

Great light. How cute is my mom?

After our gondola ride!

In St. Mark's Square

Chasing pigeons. Being me.

Stunning architecture.

I love this clock tower.

What a sight to see.

Inside the Basilica di San Marco

Atop the Basilica with my favorite clock tower!
