[PRCo] Milan, Italy

[Fred Schneider]

For those of you who just might be interested:   Rich Steves' Travels  
in Europe  show on PBS television in my area today featured Milan,  
Italy and Lake Como.   The show was filmed in May 2006.   Those of  
you who have seen it need no explanation.   The others need to know  
this is a general travel show ... in this case the a bit of history,  
pictures of the Duomo (the Milan Cathedral, the 4th largest in  
Europe), the Vitorreo Emanuel II Gallery (the 1870s enclosed shopping  
mall), a cemetery, downtown Milan, Stacione Centrale, and everywhere  
he turned, trams, trams, trams and even a picture in the subway.   I  
think he had about a dozen clips with trams.   Even the front of  
Central Station just happened to have a Peter Witt passing it.

I'm always been partial to Steves' means of travel in Europe because  
he recommends all means of travel ... heavily into mass transit in  
the cities, trains between cities but occasional use of rental  
cars.   He highly recommends those wonderful country hotels without  
lifts where you meet the local people.

I actually crossed paths with him and one of his tours once in the  
Dordogne Region of France.
