Marissa, Luis, Brenda and I flew to Verona, the city of the most famous lovers in history; Romeo and Juliet, for this weekend. The day before we went to Verona, all four of us watched a movie ‘Letters to Juliet’ and that movie gave us higher expectations. While we were there, it was very cold all the time and we could barely see the sun. Regardless of the weather, we came to Verona as tourists and we kept to our itinerary. We visited the Arena, Casa di Giulietta, Teatro Romano, Museo di Castelvecchio, Chiesa di S. Zeno, and Chiesa di San Fermo. In Casa di Giulietta, we wrote letters to Juliet and took pictures putting our hands on Juliet’s right breast just like what other people do for good luck. Other than visiting tourist places, we ate a lot! We had the best pasta in Verona since we arrived in Italy.
The hostel we booked was little bit on the outskirts, so we had to take a bus to go to downtown Verona. Also we had curfew because the bus stops operating after 8:00pm. During the entire trip, we never got off at the right bus stop, but instead a few blocks before or after. So we had to walk awhile in the dark which now I think as one of the unforgettable memories in Verona. Overall, Verona is a small city but very pretty and I enjoyed being there.
