horsie, ez nice horsie

I didn't get a chance to upload this video to our Verona post
but I do think it's worth the watch.
We knew Verona was know for certain, unique culinary delicacies...

Some of us were fans and some of us weren't

Fair Verona

We wrapped up our last day in Verona
with a final trip to Juliet's house.
It wasn't something that I was particularly interested in but
I am so glad we went.
I love this picture of Cat and her Mama!
Check out all of the love graffiti on the wall behind them.
We added our own names to the thousands of other lovebirds.
This was my favorite city so far and I was a little said to say good-bye.

Aida in the Arena

 Aida was incredible!!
mid way through the first act, it started to drizzle.
the opera was paused for about 2 hours as everyone waited for
the weather to clear up.
Lucky, we bailed out and grabbed some dinner near by
while we waited...
The area was spectacular and i can't even begin to describe the sets.
the pictures do not do them justice.
 even though the rain slowed everything down with the opera
it sure made Verona sparkle.
As we strolled back to the b&b, i fell in love with Verona.
It is officially my favorite Italian city...more than Roma, more than over crowed Venice...
Verona is perfection!

it's a love story baby just say yes!

This morning we left Venice via Trenitalia for Verona.
Our bed and breakfast, Like Juliet, is so cute and the owners very welcoming.
Since we only have one night here, we dove right into the city.

Tonight we are going to the opera, Aida, in the Arena di Verona behind us.
All of the sets/props were waiting outside of the arena to be set up for this evening's show.
We ate an interesting lunch along the river and met a sweet pooch
named Scott
(doesn't he look like Prince Eric's dog from the Little Mermaid?)
We hurried over to Giuletta's house; as in Romeo and Juliet.
check out all the love notes people have written over the years.
We'll try and take lots of pictures tonight at the opera.
Rain might be in the cards so we're just keep our fingers crossed.
