Verona (Part 2)

Thursday night we traveled to Verona and had a low key night so we could be ready for our exciting adventure in Verona during Friday! Our first stop was San Fermo, which had the most incredible ceiling ever! Seen below! The fresco's were so bright and colorful and the overall effect of the church was really awesome!

Then we were off to the Roman Arena, the second largest in the world. It is in preety great shape and Sarah and I had a ball taking funny pictures! We had our own battle of the gladiators... I of course.. won !!

One of the reasons Verona is so famous is because it is the 'home' of the legend of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespear saw the house below and was inspired to write the play. So of course, we had to go and stand on the balcony and watch creepy tourist men grope the statue of Juliet.. apparently its good luck for them... I thought it was crude.

That night, all 20 of us from the villa met up for dinner at a pizzeria for a friend's birthday and had a lot of wine and dessert! The food here is still so fabulous, almost too fabulous!
