Comasina: Home Away from Home
Metro Repubblica
We are composing this, our first post since arriving in Milan, to give some details about how the first three weeks have been. We have entitled this post, Comasina: Home Away From Home, because Comasina is the end of the subway line en route to our apartment. In other words, to get to Metro Repubblica, our stop, one has to get on the yellow line called Comasina. This is, of course, slightly metaphorical, if not biblical, as to our present status en route to the holy city. Please excuse some bumpy grammar, as being bilingual has taken a toll on my English (strange indeed).
The Journey Home
The Prince of Savio Hotel
I arrived in Milan on August 24th after a long flight. On my way from Stockholm to Milan the weather was clear enabling me to have a clear view of the Alps. This was one of the highlights for my flight. Having arranged for Marla to come to Milan a week later than myself I started off running to get the new apartment and other initial set up completed before her arrival.
Sights From Apartment
At night, our home views the Hotel Principe di Savoia (The Prince of Savoia, an old and favored hotel of Milan; bombed during WWII.).
The First Lesson in Milan in 2011
Milan Church Building
I was asked to speak on the Lord’s Day, soon after my arrival. I spoke on Hebrews 9:3: Behind the Second Curtain; encouraging the brethren to look behind the second curtain when life gets difficult. This sense of difficulty seems to be a theme of Hebrews. In our next post, we will mention some of the difficulties on the way home.
