Well THAT was a bust.  We went to the World Expo in Milan for the second time today hoping to see the half we'd missed in spring.  Unfortunately 250,000 other people also thought today would be a good day!  Instead of slowing down, the crowds are getting bigger.  The lines into the stands and pavilions were hours long.  Japan, one of the most popular, had a sign saying it would be a five hour wait!  We didn't.  In fact we only got near the entrance to 1, Uruguay, only to be told, (after 30 minutes standing in line), that they were having technical difficulties and were turning people away til further notice.  After 3 hours of attempting to see something we turned around and came home.  This was to have been Grace's only chance to see it so it is disappointing.  Not to mention wasted tickets, gas, time better spent etc.  Ah well.  I came home and took a nap.  That'll teach 'em!  Tomorrow GP is off to scale a peak.  I refuse to leaving home.  xxoo me
