Tiffany – Milan – Ending My Exchange and Welcoming My First Visitor!

Mom really enjoyed the Duomo
Class is over! Let the traveling begin! Over the next month, I have plans to visit 5 additional countries and I am SUPER excited. Today, I finished my final presentation, bid farewell to Bocconi and traveled directly to the train station to pick up my best friend, my Mom! Everything was going so well until I received a call from my Mom while en route. Our plan for her to take the regional train from the airport to Milano Centrale station was ruined by a train strike which actually occurs pretty often in Milan. Mom had to take a bus to another station and with the help of a very kind passenger from Nigeria was able to call me to tell me that she would have to meet me in a different location. Another random act of kindess. :)  (see previous blog post for reference). 
Halftime at Italy vs. Germany

Mom has really been a trooper. While it took me almost two weeks to recover from jet lag, she was able to take a quick nap and head out with me to the Italy vs. Germany soccer match at San Siro Stadium. She was also amazed by the huge crowd, incredible stadium and extremely passionate fans.  Tomorrow we head to Venice and I am really looking forward to exciting times with Mom.
