Highlights of the Day

We had such a wild and crazy time yesterday that I was bushed when we finally got back to the room.

So, I'm just going to give some quick highlights of the day and catch up sometime later with more details.

First of all......Happy Birthday to my dear friend, Morena!  How great to have been able to celebrate with her.

So, here's a synopsis of the day.

We:

Visited Verona where we saw the Roman Arena

The old gate to the city

Piazza Erbe

Juliet's balcony where Marty managed to capture our photo 

Can you see the crazy guy hanging out over the balcony?  He was pretending to be Romeo climbing to see his beloved Juliet. 

View over the Adige river.

Had a delightful lunch outside on the cafe terrace where we could enjoy the beautiful views

Stopped at Soave on the return trip.  This was another walled city..

Climbed to the upper castle

 Saw lots of grapes

Learned that Soave was famous for  its wine making

Returned to Cittadella

Met with Morena's cousins

Partied at the restaurant

Toasted to the birthday girl

And waddled home.

Fantastico!
