Last night was a quiet night following an exhausting day out in
the sun at Tom’s house. That meant most of the boys were
pretty tired and went to bed fairly early. This morning most of the
guys decided to take advantage of a lighter day and got a workout
in. Corbin McPherson, Kevin MacNamara and Nathan Sinz and I went
for a run along the shores of Lake Como into town. It was amazing
running with such incredible views of the mountains to look at the
entire time. We followed that up with the famous “Body by
Corbin” workout routine, run by #4 himself.
We grabbed a quick breakfast at the hotel before packing up and
checking out of the hotel for our next leg of the trip. We toured
the city of Milan, visiting the Castello Sforzesco, a beautiful
castle in the heart of the historical district. We also checked out
the Duomo of Milan that was absolutely incredible in both size and
detail. At both sites we were introduced to the persistence of the
local hagglers, who on many occasions forced bracelets on our
wrists. Jaime Helibron eventually gave in and accepted the
‘fine’ piece of jewelry.
From there we had a few hours to stroll through the streets of Milan. It was interesting to see the differences in stores’ products that we also have back in America such as Foot Locker. We also checked out one of the most famous streets of Milan, the capital of the Fashion Week. Unfortunately, these stores were slightly over our budget, such as the original Prada store, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.
