We decided not to stay in Milan because the costs of the hotels were way too much for our budget. We ended up staying in Lake Como and taking the train down to Milan for the day. Lake Como ended up being a great place to take it easy and relax; Milan on the other hand was exciting and full of things to see. We went to the Duomo and it was the most impressive yet, we climbed up to the top and had an incredible view of the city and the building itself. Justin has been doing his research of the breweries in Italy in hopes we might find some really good beer. We visited the Lambrate brewery in Milan, got to visit with the brewer, who actually remembered receiving Justin's email that he sent a few months ago looking for opportunities to work in Italian breweries. We got to have a private tasting, man they are making some really good beers, they even had an American Pale Ale, it was hoppy and great.
