going Milano ...

We had promised Momichan that during the X'Mas holidays we would have gone alltogather to Milan to see the big X'Mas Tree and visit a big book store to search some books for her, so this morning after breakfast we leave home for the Center. Every year in the center of Milan in front of the Dome, the local Townhall take and decorate a big pine tree everytime different, so we are curious to see how it is decorated this time.
It is a sunny day and temperature is quite hight for the period, Momichan has her coat and berret and is hot enough.
The Dome is so white and clean (see foto) and the Tree this year is covered by thousands white ribbons and small golden lights. Momichan is enthusiastic, we quite never go to the Center, we live just outside Milan and during the week we have no time, also we do not have the car because daddy uses it to go to work so it would result a llittle complicate to go alone just Momi and me taking busses and underground.
Momichan is crazy about the pigeons flying around and walking in front of the Dome, thousands of tourists are everywhere and I have to care to have Momichan always in my sight.
After having seen shops we stop at McDonalds for lunch, Momichan takes a Happy Meal with "plain" hamburger, fries, yogurt and gas water. (In Italy the word "plain" mean just hamburger without condiments nor salt). She is really good in eating all by herself and eating everything.
As promised after lunch we go to the book store: inside there are many and many kids book of every kind, Momichan starts to take one, then another, she is fascinated by the ones that make sounds or have "pop ups".
We find one of the books she likes, I had taken it from our local library in november, it is a book about Halloween that makes creepy funny sounds and lights.
It is now dark outside and we can see the X'Mas light everywhere, some palaces seem to be gold at the decoration lights, some other seem silver and the big X'Mas Tree is now all lighted and brilliant :) the city seems magic, somewhere there is music fillling the air, some little groups of american indians selling cd are playing some instruments, some other from Peru are doing the same somewhere else and the tipical X'Mas music is everywhere. For us is time to go home, Momichan has not have her usual nap today and is really tired, she has been really good all day long but now she needs to rest and for us once reached home, it will be time to prepare dinner so we direct to the underground to reach the car parked outside the center.
