Verona

I don’t know what I really expected of Verona prior to arriving. In fact, I really didn’t know anything about Verona except that:
1. It’s in Italy
and
2. It’s the setting for Romeo and Juliet.
Verona is pretty amazing. The town itself is stunning. The architecture dates several hundred years (at least), and the town is infused with the various colors of terracotta stains. It is like looking at a bright, cheerful paint palette. The vibrancy echoes throughout the town. This vibrancy is reflected in the people and their attitudes. Drinking wine on one of the piazzas until just after two, we left as we had an early tour in the morning. However, we left the square filled with people enjoying their Friday evening and enjoying life in general. C’è la bella vita.
