Wendy & Penelope: Italian Fashonista or Greek Goddess?

Hi fans!

Our peoples are busy cruising the Greek Islands now. So we thought that we would share our favorites on this Italian and Greek adventure. 

In Milan we visited the Church of San Maurizio at the Monastero Maggiore.

We fell in love with this fresco of Noah's Ark by Aurelio Luini, son of Bernardino Luini who painted many of the frescoes in this church.

(ca. 1556)

What we don't understand why there are no unicorns 🦄 today? It appears that they boarded the Ark! 🤔

We were good bears at the church so we got a mini cannoli for our treat!


We did some shopping at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. I (Penelope) think that this pink Prada dress would look fabulous on Wendy! I would look great with the hat, if I cut holes out for my ears.


We visited the Duomo di Milano. Isn't it stupendous!

We were sad to say goodbye to Milan.  


Wow! Venice was amazing! Traveling by boat on the canals is fun! We really loved St. Mark's Square and Basilica.

Venice was so hot! We saw a bag with this cartoon and we could relate! 

To cool down we had to get a Gelato. 


We caught a ride on the Grand Canal with our new friends, Empanda and Pandana.


Mama Mia!! 

Look at this huge bowl of gelato spaghetti! This is heavenly!

Ok, so what if we love sweet treats. Please don't judge us. We just can't resist these luscious desserts. 

Another scrumptious treat!


We made it to Athens, Greece.

Wow!! The Parthenon is awesome, cool, fab, dope!

That goddess Athena must have been pretty special to have this structure dedicated to her. Maybe someone will dedicate something to us. 🤔 Perhaps a beary good dessert worthy of a Greek Goddess!


Gotta go. The cruise ship buffet is open! 👋
