Verona, Italy

So, on our drive from Milan to Venice we decided to stop in this (supposed) little town, Verona. On the web, it looks like a really cute little village. Known for being the home to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and two other plays. This is no small town. This place to so packed with people to see a fictional balcony of one Juliet Capulet. It is too insane to explain. Don't get me wrong it is very cute, but kind of strange how many people want to see a balcony and tomb for people that don't really exist.

Milan, Italy

Arrived !!!
Oh what a long over night flight when you can't sleep. Emirates is a nice airline, much more space. The are very stricked with their rules. Your carry on can't weigh more than 7 km. Good thing they didn't weigh my backpack. My Mom had to check hers in.

Milan isn't anything like I expected. Took the subway late last night to see the Duomo. That square is what I expected all of Milan to be.

Our first meal in Italy was a little place that our hotel suggested, Pane E Tulipani. Just a block or so down the street. My god, it was fabulous and cheap. I had lasagna and it was 8 euros.
