Two Days in Verona

I spent Monday and Tuesday in Verona. Verona, not only the setting of the greatest love story of all time but the sight of the most Roman architecture other than Rome on the mainland. I enjoyed my time in Verona so much, it is so calm and peaceful and every where you look, you see something interesting. After the train ride, we went to this little restaurant where we got the best hot chocolate I have ever had. It was so thick and creamy. For dessert, we got chocolate pie with whipped cream. It melted in your mouth as you ate it. After we ate and checked in to our hotel, we walked over to see Juliet's wall. To be completely honest, it wasn't very interesting because it was so crowded. What interested me the most was walking up stairs to see the letters to Juliet. People coming from all around the world wrote letters to her and you could read them. Many of them were very sad but some had some cheerful qualities, one even made me cry. After that, we got hearts with our name ingrained on it. I told him my name was John Champagne, he told me that we should be friends because he likes Champagne. I thought that was really funny. After that, we walked down to the river where an old Roman bridge. Now, you might just think it was another bridge but when the Italians Surrendered in WW2, the Nazis bombed that bridge and it all blew up into the river. As soon as the war was over, the City of Verona went into the river and rebuild the bridge from the remaining parts that were blown up. Afterwards, we walked back to the hotel to chill out for a while and then we went out to dinner. The next day, I woke up with a terrible cold. I felt terrible so we didn't do as much as planned. We went back up to the Letters to Juliet place and checked that our for a little while. After that, we went to Dante's sculpture. Dante was a poet who wrote the inferno which was a book on the different levels of hell and who sat there. The popes who had been greedy and cheated people were at the lowest level of Dante's hell. After that, we went and grabbed lunch and headed out back to Roma. I would say overall it was an amazing trip.
Ciao Bella,
