Ciao L'Arena!

Ciao L'Arena!

So… Yesterday, I travelled to Verona, the city of an awesome Roman Arena and the home of Romeo and Juliette. The plan was to stay Saturday night there, but the hostels, hotels and B and B’s costed too much. I saw everything I wanted to see including the colisseum, which was so cool and was in incredible shape. Also, the house of Juliette, or Giulietta in italian was cool. When you walk in there is a tunnel full of sticky notes of LOVE… I thought it was cool even though I am a guy and I don’t like that type of stuff. Duh! Then I walked around the city, visiting open air market after market until I was pretty much soaking wet (it rained all day), then I left for Ferrara. Anyways after a day in Verona, I thought it was an amazing city, beautiful with everything you would want, including a castle, beautiful piazzas, Roman Arena and love.

This guy was there. My favorite photo I have taken in Italy.

Tomorrow, I part for Rome for 5 days. There I plan to see everything. I am not intimidated of those people that say, “There is to much to do in Rome…” I say, “Bring it.” But, I will give Rome some respect, especially the Tiber River because it is flooding right now and I would like it to stop. Anyways, I return to Ferrara on Friday then say some goodbyes to friends and my family here, then head west on Monday.

Ciao. Ci vediamo dopo Roma… Enjoy some photos…
