Did you know that the largest Gothic Cathedral is located in Milan?
The entire city is basically planned out around this cathedral. Duomo
Milan is the "Center of the Universe for Fashion." fashion shows, latest trends
The famous painting of the Last Supper is in Milan. We probably won't go to see this (maybe a picture outside of the church though)... but here is where it is and some information about it. about, map, goolge view
In Turin, there were many little parks to walk through on our way to the church. Here are two of the bigger parks in Milan. Giardini Pubblici, map & Parco Sempione, map
Two years ago, Steven and I took a walk around the city to see some of the great architecture. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to do that again. It didn't take very long and it's good for Civil Engineers to appreciate Architecture... because, you know, we are so terribly functional! Hopefully we can grab a student and they can tell us about the history of each one. Here are some churches.

Unfortunately I do not know which University we will be working with so I can't show you that. Also, since this trip is to help out a church plant, I can't show you the church. However, here is stuff from Turino! If you can find the "Mole", it is the tall spiral in the picture, the church in located on the bottom floor of a building just northeast of the Mole. The university is located southeast of the Mole. It is easy to find because it is the only building without the terracotta roof tiles. :)
Well. We leave in two weeks and we are both very, very (very, very, very, very) excited! The trip will probably go by as fast (or faster) than the trip preparation went. Continue to pray for us!
