Heaven is here where Juliet lives" (William Shakespeare)
After watching the movie Letters to Juliet on the plane ride from America to Milan, it made me want to visit Verona so bad after how beautiful it looked. So it is a foggy saturday afternoon and I decided that it was the perfect time to get up and go to Verona. Verona is only a hour train ride outside of Milan.When we first arrived in Verona we sat down at a outdoor cafe and people watched for a good while as we enjoyed some mouthwatering gelato. Later we visited the wall of Juliet hoping to write a letter to her and got to see the famous balcony that she stood on. On our trip we toured the most famous amphitheater called the Arena which was built in the 1st century. We walked all the way up the 50 flights of stairs to the top and got to see the remarkable skyline view of Verona. My thighs were definately sore this morning! After all the bread and cheese I have been consuming over here, I needed that workout!!! I really would love to go back in the future and spend more time exploring the vineyards and countryside there.
