First Stop is...

The first stop on our trip was Verona. Home of the tragic Romeo and Juliet. You can visit her home and see her balcony. I don't know why but everyone was rubbing her breast as some sort of good luck ritual. If only she knew how much action she'd be getten these days.















You know Shakespeare never visited Verona but, of course, the Romans were here and left a 20,000 seat arena made from the local traviatine that comes in lovely shades of pink. I also found fossils hidden throughout the stone seats. As you can see it was a rainy day and after these sights were seen, and a quick espresso, we were on the road again. Where we stopped next tommorow......
