Back in September, J & I took a little trip to Italy. J had some work stuff there and I was able to tag along. Prior to this trip, I thought Italy would be cool, but since it wasn't a for sure trip while living in Germany, I didn't plan to ever go there. So, this was an AMAZING surprise!
We found a villa, far cheaper and far nicer than any of the hotels and spent a little over a week in Italy. We fell in love with Italy!
Our first little sightseeing adventure was Verona. Three of Shakespeare's plays are set in Verona: Romeo and Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona & The Taming of the Shrew. The movie Letters to Juliet was filmed in part here, as well.
We spent the first part of our day in Verona walking around, shopping and enjoying their market; complete with Venetian masks and the like. We found a little cafe overlooking the market and enjoyed a pizza, topped with the local Veronese fare.
