If you are logged on to AR tonight, you know that I am snooping through some of my photos from my recent trip. Enough time has gone by, a month, that I am actually finding them interesting. In the city of Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, my wife and I went for a walking adventure one day. We walked to the other side of the river, that surrounds the town, and walked up a hill. Basically we got lost but stumbled on this old Roman theater and, on the hill behind it, we walked past an upscale restaurant that was open for lunch. We said, to heck with it, and decided to get out the wallet and go in and check it out. The view of Verona was incredible. The waiter bragged, and I believe him, that it had the best location of any restaurant in the city. You could look down at the river or up at the hill. The waiter thought the hill view was the best (top picture) personally I went with the river view, which is the bottom photo. See what you think. They were both pretty fabulous. Verona is much like Venice, and near Venice, and has some of the feel of Venice but, personally, I like it better. It too is on my short list of places to go back to.
Check out "This Day In History" -- music and vintage television from the 1950's through the 1980's. I enjoy writing these articles because they take me back to my days in radio broadcasting. Click on Elvis' gold record, below, to revisit those golden hits of yesteryear.
Steven, they are both beautiful views of Verona, I favor the hill as your waiter, Spectacular. They say Verona is seen by 1.2 million people flocking to Casa di Giulietta, or Juliet's House annually. Did you get to see this museum and stand on the balcony?
