"In fair Verona where we lay our scene..."

Later that night, Martina, fell asleep after we ate dinner at a family friend's house. It was a long day for us all. : )

These notes on the wall are all love notes that couples have written and stuck to this wall that leads to Juliet's balcony. The notes on the wall are supposed to represent everlasting love. I just thought it was interesting to see so many pieces of paper stuck to one wall.

Pretty heart lights that lead the way down the street and to the Valentine's market where people were singing, dancing, selling strawberries and chocolate! Yum!


This is a amphitheatre that we saw when we first got to Verona. It looked similar to the Colosseum in Rome but this one was much smaller.



After visiting Venice we went to Verona which is about 2 hours away from Venice. Verona is where Shakespeare set his play "Romeo and Juliet" and because we went to visit the day before Valentine's Day there were hearts and chocolate everywhere!
