Romance in Verona

We thought that Verona would be a good stopping point on the drive back to Munich.  Time to stretch out in the windy streets, and enjoy a little of the romance of Romeo & Juliette – especially at night.

It was also a perfect place to be on May 1, labor day in Europe, and normally a day when everything is shut down (seriously even the subway system was closed until 3pm the year we were in Vienna)…  Everything was open in Verona, and open late!  YEA!!

Nana & Papa in the courtyard entrance to Juliette’s balcony, while Sophia & I went into the “Museum to Love” in order to play Juliette. 

and check out the dinner party being set up on the terrace on the next building! The Roman Arena, which is still used for Operas during the summer season, was being set up for a concert – amazing to see how many people fit inside! Troy & Alexandra met up with our friend Dominic and his daughter Ida, and played near the fountain while waiting for us… And then the girls just played & played… street performers are so great for kids!  Alexandra kept walking closer & closer, she was really fascinated with the music & the show.
