So far, this has been an amazing tour. If you’re just now checking the blog, please go back and read about our time in Spain. It was magical in every way – the venues, the audiences, and all the people we had the privilege of getting to know and share our time. Fantastic memories!
Italy has been fun as well. It’s much colder here though. Imperia was a beautiful city on the Sea. Sassuolo was quaint and peaceful. And now, we have been in Verona for two days to relax a bit. This is a charming town filled with history, beautiful architecture, and great food. We decided to stay in the historic district at the Grand Hotel. It’s within walking distance of most everything.
We explored the area inside the “walls” of Verona where many of the historic buildings are. We stumbled into the markets, the Christmas market (lots of great food and sweets!), the shopping district, the Verona Arena, the legendary balcony of Romeo and Juliet, and much more. Here are a few of the pictures. I’m posting more of them on Flickr.
Notice the difference in the way this warrior treated me….and Cindy!
