Milan Day One – A Quiet Morning

In this episode, I share my experience arriving in Milan at five in the morning during off-season February, when the days are short and the city is hushed by rainy weather. I discuss attending a trade show—despite the weak yen, I still managed to buy more than I planned—and then heading into a nearly empty city center. I’m traveling with my junior-high daughter, who’s exploring Europe for the first time and still getting used to the late sunrise and quieter streets. Join me as I embrace the subdued charm of Italy’s winter and look ahead to our next stop: Venice.
