[Italy, Milan - Navigli District]
"...Even in spring, it's still cold." I shivered, pulling my jacket tighter against the breezy winds. I had just taken an Uber from the mercenary base to the Navigli District.
The beautiful view of the flowing river brought back memories of my time studying in Italy while aspiring to be an author.
I had read a lot about the history of this area. These canals, built in the 12th century, were once the lifeblood of Milan's trade, connecting the city to major rivers and lakes.
Leonardo da Vinci himself supposedly had a hand in designing some of the canal systems.
It was hard to imagine that now, with the trendy bars and restaurants lining the waterfront. The history remained, but the place had certainly evolved.
As I walked down the canal, I spotted Jan and Camila sharing a hot drink at a cafe.
