This morning, we all left our host families and met to leave the Mennonit Church in Langnau at 9:30. Our destination was Milan. On the way, we stopped in the city of Luzern, where money needed to be wxchanged from Swiss Franks to Euros. This meant that we had an hour to explore the city. We were on the road again and the entertainment on the bus was "Dirty Dancing". During the movie, our bus had issues. It was saying that the engine was overheating and that there was no cooling liquid although the tank was full. The mystery was whether the bus had a sensor problem, or if it was actually overheating. While the bus was stopped, we took advantage and used up some energy by playing basketball, juggling soccer balls, throwing frisbee, climbing a mountain side, and playing a mini game of tag. It was decided to continue our trip to Italy, so we were on the road again. We went through a 17 km long tunnel under the Alps, which was pretty crazy. We arrived in Milan, parked the bus, and went directly to tsee the Castella. It's and old castle that is now filled with many museums and is an icon of the city. It is connected to a beautiful park. There are many cats that live inside the Castella and many of us saw a cat laying awkwardly on its back. It seemed as if it had fallen and broke its back, it was really sad. We then headed to our hotel and awaited our dinner. We had noodles with clams, fish and cauliflower, and for dessert, a pear tart. The mean probably wouldn't have been our first choice, but we were hungry and dealt with it. We then dispersed to the hotel rooms to relax.
