Change of Scenery.

Maybe we all are too cooped-up in this Forum and becoming too personal in our take of everyone's word and that includes myself.
So here are some images of Milan today as I spent a day with hubby walking and going on trams around the city since morning until afternoon just to enjoy the lazy and hazy days of summer.

The summertime in Milan.

July 4, 2008.



Oh, by the way --- above is "LA SCALA"

it looks so sunny and warm! the complete opposite to what i have today .... :(

Sorry to hear that the weather on your end is not so good.
Yes, it was sunny and the temperature was just right as it was breezy and cooler than the past few days earlier which was humid and sticky. Today looks the same as yesterday.

It's been an unusual summer as we've been having an alternate rain of hails versus sunny and high humidity so yesterday was the typical summer day which we like very much where hubby and I just went to have our brioche and cappucino for late breakfast then lunch on top floor of this department store overlooking the Duomo Cathedral.

Nice pics!

Hey Milan/Chilli, I'm interested in finding some inexpensive land in the south.. Ideally in Sicily.. Would love it if it was an old olive grove or something, but it doesn't need to be big, something with a nice little old 3 bedroom stone house on it.. As a foreigner its very difficult to find something down there without feeling you're getting screwed by some 'in-the-middle' (typically English) broker.. Any suggestions on how to go about finding a place? The property industry there is quite fragmented and very regionalized it seems, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ct

OMG, Balilife. The description you want in a house in Sicily is exactly how the country house of my husband in Sicily is. BUT... it's sold!!! His sister decided to sell it a few years ago.
There's even a vineyard! Olive trees, raspberry and blackberry plants around it.
I used to get a little bit sick of the driving across the hills and valleys in between to go to the seaside on this rocky edge of the sea, especially in the nights as there were no street lights around that it made me dizzy everytime we went home from there. From that coastline, we could go to its town called: Cefalu. I know you'd love it!
A pity!

:( you're very cruel milan!

No really, it sounds like exactly the type of place that I'd love.. Oh well, if you have any ideas about how I might be able to find something similar, please let me know :)
