Oh, my Italy!

Only three single steps to become a true Italian: dress well, eat well and enjoy life! You've probably read the book "Eat, Pray and Love" or maybe you've watched the movie or at least you've heard of it and the wonderful story of Elizabeth Gilbert. Honestly, what I really loved about her journey was Italy or the Get-to-know-the-Italians-part. I thought I already got an idea of what their lifestyle would be and I loved it. Until... my first visit to this beautiful warm country.

Walking down at the Promenade at Como Lake is where a person should start. Take your time, don't let the touristic drive overcome you. Just slow down life and let your soul feast on everything that this place could offer. Look at the sun playing on the lake's water. Inhale the perfume of all the flowers coloring the streets. Look up and around you and greet the passing by people. Make a stop at a gelato- shop, sit at a small Caffè.  Let your whole being live in the moment.

Next stop: Milan. You must get lost in this city. That would be the only way to experience it. With all the small streets full of well-dressed people, riding
cars that probably belonged to James Bond. Just sink into the atmosphere that of sunshine and warmth that surrounds Milano. It is inevitable, of course, to get to The Cathedral or also known as Duomo di Milano.
