On the 6th, we took the train through Genova to Milan. We were met by our friend Arben and his boys. Here we are in front of the central station in Milan.
Arben and I met when I worked for Intergraph, in Alabama. He took us to a nice, modern hotel where he had rooms reserved for us. The hotel was next to a shopping mall that Darcy and I visited several times. I specially liked the anchor to the mall, Carrefour, which is a huge store with more variety than Walmart and higher quality than Target. After we got settled in the hotel, Arben came back with his wife and the boys and we went to see their new house. They are moving in this week. The view from their place is more beautiful than ours was in Alabama. They are next to fields of rice and corn that are protected from industrial development by zoning laws.
After touring their house we went to dinner. I ordered fish for the first time on this trip. Yes, the bones were a problem, but other than that, it tasted great.
This is Darcy with the youngest of Arben's boys:
