"Oh Romeo"

This is the original gate to enter Verona... It still stands today but I think they added the street lights.

Every single alley had these hearts hanging... After all this is the city of love

My husband touching Juliet's boob.... This was the thing to do, everyone was touching her, except me of course I had to take the pictures

Aww the famous balcony...."Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo!, Wherefore art thou Romeo"

This is the Arena. It is the 3rd largest Colosseum in Italy and it is still standing and every July and August they hold operas here. It was amazing that it still stands and it is gorgeous!


So if you haven't guessed yet Rich and I spent our first Valentine's day in Verona, Italy. We first started our day at a winery where we had a tasting tour. (Yes we bought a bottle) Then we had an amazing romantic lunch in Juliet's Castle. After that we went to Verona where we spent timing window shopping, looking at Juliet's Balcony and of course topping off the night with some mint gelato... Verona is one of those place that has a special atmosphere about you cant describe. but you know that love is in the air. All I know is I was glad I spent the day with my Romeo minus the poisons and stabbings.
