City 1: Verona

So we made it to our first city on the trip. Verona, which is the home of Juliet from the book. We went to the city which was absolutely beautiful. We went up a hill and were able to look over the entire city. It really was the most beautiful thing ever. Then later we went to the centre of the city and began our way to the shops....surprise surprise huh? Well we found some great stores and we really discovered that our English doesn't mean anything here. Today I called mama when she was getting ready for school and I think she was excited to talk to me. At least she made it sound like that.... After we ate some lunch, which was ok in my opinion, we had a tour of the city scheduled. It was wonderful to hve a tour guide even though our large group screamed tourists so we had stares from lots of ppl, though not as many stres as we get in Montagnana which is a much smaller town. Anyways, we saw some pretty amazing stuff...including the arena, which is actually older than the Roman Collesium, but much smaller. We ended up at Juliet's house and our tour was over then. Many people leave love letters for Juliet though I don't quite understand why, but I did it anyways. We concluded our day with some time to shop and walk around the city, which is what we did. :-) We got on the bus and nearly everyone on the bus fell right asleep. So mug excitement everyday. You can't expect us to NOT need naps. Ciao!!
