Only in Milan do you see ladies wearing 5" stilletos riding bicycles.

This shot was, unfortunately, an impulse snap and my camera wasn't setup right but it almost came out.

We weren't really supposed to be here since the cathedral is off limits to tourists while services are in progress, but we had come in early enough they didn't catch us and were sitting quitly enough they didn't spot us when they kicked everybody else out.

This is what was going on outside the cathedral while service was going on inside. Not sure what the parrade was about, but it wasn't palm sunday related that's for sure.

We followed a GPS to the cathedral, then when we got close wandered a couple streets looking for parking. I found something without any no parking signs and slid in ... it wasn't until I got out of the car that I realized this was a pretty VIP looking area as a walk-in to the biggest covered mall I've sever seen. Turn out we were right on top of the main square. After the difficulty in other cities, I couldn't believe we got such good parking for free.
