Hockey

With week one under my belt I was informed that Milan has a hockey team, Milano Rosso Blu :-). Which is pretty cool as if I was back home there would be no hockey to watch. So, last Saturday we took the metro to the other end of the world ( or the end of the red line) to the hockey rink to watch my first Milan hockey game. It was crazy fun. Different then a game in the states but still a lot of fun. The rink reminded me of the rinks by brother use to play at. There were a few pucks to the face, overtime and a dramatic shoot out. We ultimately lost the game but it was quite fun.

Sunday as most things are closed here I went down town for sushi lunch yummy my favorite. We then just walked around Duomo to enjoy the sunday. I noticed that there were very few cars on the road but I thought it was just because of the nice weather. Then I found out that its a thing here in Milan. There are certain days during the year that people are not allowed to drive their cars unless they are taxis or police. This is to reduce the amount of pollution in the air... Interesting. I  tried to imagine the mayor of New York City trying to the Manhattan that guys today no cars. Some how Im not sure they would buy it.

I am now nearing the end of week two of classes and yesterday to my dismay I woke up with a sore throat. That has now turned into a full blown head cold. So I am trying my hardest to fight it off but we will see. Until Next Time....
