Then the Easter holiday week set in, and car museums shut their doors.
Not being Catholics, we thought last week was the Holy Week (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday). We of course knew that Monday was Easter Monday, but never dreamed that Holy Week would be this passed week (too). So instead of accommodating all of the tourists (including thousands of Italians) who might just finally have time to visit a car museum, the rest of the automobile museums we wanted to visit were closed.
So we had a change of plans! Instead of our son's beloved Cars and Coffee, we had Cars and Catholic Churches.
The Duomo in Milan. Our companion who did not want to go into any churches got a few good shots of those churches.
Since I did not enter the auto museums, I took this shot of the oldest tractor I could find at one of the Maserati museums. A 1918 Fordson!
Oh, and for today (on last full day of our Italian vacation), we found a huge classic car exhibition near Milan! More about that later.

Oh those photos of the church are magnificent. The tractor ones are pretty cool too:) Hug B
The churches are absolutely beautiful, such wonderful architecture. How I would love to feast my eye on Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, if only for fifteen minutes. Why was there a time limit to view the painting? Was the painting more beautiful in person? Enjoy the last day of your trip and have a safe journey home.
Beautiful churches! And that tractor looks like my husbands :-)
Oh my, those churches are beautiful!
I'm sorry you have no car photos ... but the tractors are pretty cool. I hope we ALL look that good if we love to be 96!
Hope you had a great time. :)
