As I started so reluctantly to pack, I asked Bill if it would be weird if I asked to stay one more night. Go for it... They said yes :o). It is too lovely to leave, so we are here for a third night.
Yesterday we explored the lovely city of Verona. It was busy, for sure, but it felt more like a local bustle than the frenzy of the tourist hubs of Rome, Florence, Venice, and Pisa. There were children and families with dogs everywhere and we just wandered in the sunshine looking up at big, beautiful things. We saw at least four weddings being photographed on picturesque bridges, and medieval walls overlooking the winding river. Verona is said to be the real life setting for the fictional tale of Romeo and Juliet. We did not visit Juliet's balcony as my mission at all times is to avoid crowds, but the city does have an inherent romance about it.
The rest of the day was like any other... More food... More wine... More loveliness.
Now that we are here for another day, I think we will truly take it easy. Maybe go for a wander in the countryside, maybe visit a winery or olive farm, maybe just nap and sip cappuccino.
