Statues

Now, when walking around Milano, I came across these two statues.  They are life sized.  One was on each side of the large iron gates.  Really, folks, is this Robert E Lee and maybe the other one is Andrew Jackson???

 All this time I have seen so many statues of Jesus, Neptune and the great statue of David.  Now to see these along the street, made me chuckle.  By gosh, if they were in Columbia, SC or Richmond, Va there would be a group of people protesting to take them down.  And then across the street would be a protest for keeping them up to preserve history.

Well, here is Milano, no one even cares.  I am not too sure if anyone even notices.  And just who are they guys.  Why are they here??????

Take a lesson from the Milanians, keep going, do not even notice and let things just be.......

New Year's Eve

When in Milano and it is New Year's Eve and it is cold and rainy, go out and discover. 

 The is a mosaic of a bull.  Look closely and you can see his balls.  Now, I am not too sure what it all means, but people were waiting in line to put you heel on the bull's balls and make a turn.

Is this for good luck for the New Year, who knows,..........

 I waited my turn and put my heel on the bull's ball and make the turn without falling down.

Hey, I did......Look at the people in the background, they could not believe this old American woman was getting into the spirit too.

What away to celebrate.........

Balls to the wall, no balls to the heel
