We’ve made it to my second stop of this trip – Milan. My coworker Mark’s wife joined us in Milan (Amanda will follow a couple days later) so you’ll see her in one of these shots. Our first stop in Milan – the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Built in 1865, it was the Galleria from…

Welcome to our good friend, Michele Johnson, to the blogosphere! Her new blog, News From A Broad, will surely be interesting reading as she details her daily dealings from the East Side (and more).
