Finishing up the business trip in Milan

Today I woke up to a beautiful morning in Locarno.   After having a great breakfast I headed to meet with Tizizano, GE Plant Director, for several meetings.   It is really amazing how much I've learned in 3 weeks about manufacturing.   This assignment is going to be such a game changer on my perceptions of how business is done. 

After the plant I headed to the Milan Hilton where I will spend the night.   I did get a chance to visit Milan's historic center.   It is nice but Milan overall is not so great.   There are a lot of run down buildings, tons of traffic and super expensive.  There are much better parts of Italy to live and visit.

I'm very excited about going home tomorrow.
