Reading your blog here is sure nice and I love every part of it. I definitely like the picture that you've taken. I'm waiting for a chance to one day visit Europe.

There is always something new to discover. And yes, Verona is still largely undiscovered. The Piazza delle Erbe is very lively and colourful on market days. With stalls of fruit and vegetables, a fountain surmounted by the Madonna of Verona, old palaces some decorated with marble columns and frescoes, the dominant pink colour of the walls, it is absolutely stunning.

Apparently the two rival families actually existed though. I'm not sure - the romantic in me likes to believe this - but the cynic in me thinks some enterprising chap with an old house with a balcony is making a fair profit with his "house of the Capulets".

I didn't think Romeo, Juliet and the house of Capulet actually existed. I thought Shakespeare's story was mostly fictional. I guess I am no better than the American tourist you met :-) Are you sure this isn't like Sherlock Holmes apartment on Baker Street in London? Looks like you had a great time there...

I remember being in London a few years ago, and couple of American tourists were standing looking up at Big Ben. Then the wife says "My Dear God. Look at the size of that clock." ;) Sounds like you had a great time! I remember being in London a few years ago, and couple of American tourists were standing looking up at Big Ben.
