Loading...Here we are in Verona taking advantage of our 6 hours of free internet that came with our room. I got a great deal on a pretty swank place, there are some advantages to traveling in the winter. We have a bathtub, a real one, not just a bidet.
So, Verona is really beautiful. I mean really, really, really beautiful. I’m tired from our sight seeing orgy or I’d come up with some better adjectives. The buildings are frescoed on the inside and the outside. My neck hurts from looking up. All the details are amazing, tucked into the corners of squares or on houses. Incredible. Oh, and don’t forget all the Roman stuff everywhere. There is more Roman stuff in Verona than anywhere else in the world except Rome. We went to the arena, where they now do Aida every summer, but used to involve an entirely different drama involving slaves. There are a few of the Roman portas, or gate ways. And a huge Roman theatre up on a hill. Then there is a castle and some walls, Romanesque stuff in the basements of some place that is 1,000 years old.
Did I mention the orgy of sight seeing <question mark> My mind is spinning and my legs and feet ache. Why did the Romans build such steep stairs <question mark> Weren’t they shorter than us<question mark>
