Verona

YUM! And YES, I ate the whole thing!
Good luck for me!

The Arena


Castle bridge



Bonjourno!
Jocelyn and I arrived in Verona this morning around 10am. We took the bus to our hotel, which is perfectly located near all the touristy sites. We got gelatto to start the day off right and walked to a near-by castle. After, we went to the Arena, but the line was super long so we didn't go inside (I saw the Colosseum, I have a pretty good idea what it looks like). We walked to a super cute outdoor market and got sandwiches and fresh fruit cups (SO GOOD!) for lunch.
We walked to Juliette's house and took pictures touching her left boob-for good luck! Considering all the traveling we've both done over the past 5 weeks, we were dead tired and went back to our hotel for a nap. I took a cold shower because it's so hot here! But as soon as you're out of the shower, the cold water just turns into sweat all over again!
For dinner we walked back to the outdoor market and ate a cute outdoor restaurant. I got a vegetarian pizza (pictured above) with tomatoes, potatoes, artichokes, and zucchini. It was the best pizza I've had yet in Italy! Jocelyn ordered a drink with her dinner called "Spritz". It's a fizzy orange flavored wine spritzer drink that is famous in the Venetian region of Italy... I tried it and was not impressed, but my taste in alcohol is about zero, so....
Of course I got gelatto after dinner, Bacio and Mint, so delicious! We walked back to our hotel and are now relaxing, watching movies, and preparing to take the train tomorrow for Venice! I can hardly wait! Only 4 more days and I'll be home!
Ciao, Soleil
