The cathedral of Milan is the 3rd largest Catholic church in the world. It has recently been renovated and the scaffolding is now removed – it is beautiful!
Did GYC have the opportunity to sing there? Of course we did! The kids sang several songs to an increasingly large crowd as the music echoed around the cathedral. The acoustics were the most impressive of the tour thus far – on the songs that ended on a stronger note, we could hear the echoes of the last note for several seconds after the kids had finished singing. It brought goose bumps to all who heard it!
After singing in the cathedral, we toured a beautiful covered galleria nearby, filled with some of the most expensive stores in Milan. Think Prada, Gucci, Armani… and McDonalds!
We couldn’t help ourselves, Ms. D assembled the Chorus for an impromptu song at the intersection of the T-shaped mall. We spoke to several people from Milan, Finland, England and the US who all complimented the kids on how well they sang.
After some lunch and shopping (and a gelato!), we boarded the bus for the ride back to Lake Maggiore and Stresa. The kids (and adults!) enjoyed some time at the pool before a late dinner.
Then it was off to the rooms to pack, because we leave this beautiful place tomorrow for Verona and then Bavaria!
