First Stop in Italy!

Switzerland was wonderful and we were sad to leave, but so far Italy has been really enjoyable. We took a train to Verona a couple of days ago. That was an adventure because the train was really late and not marked, so we felt like we were getting on the wrong train to who knows where. No one spoke English on the train either so that made it even worse. But we made it ok. (: Verona has been a really pretty place with a lot of impressive castles, churches and Roman ruins. It seems like every narrow street you walk down has something exciting to discover. And of course some gelato (Italian icecream) which we now have to have twice a day! We are leaving tomorrow for Florence. It won't be as peaceful of a place as Verona, but I'm sure we will love it!

  1. WE loved the pictures of Switzerland and can't wait to hear all about your adventures there and see all your pictures! Your description of your drive through the alps sounded a bit scary! But I'm sure, beautiful. Hope you don't have problems with the train to Florence tomorrow. We will be glad to hear that your have arrived safely and about your hotel and your first impression of the city.
    Have fun and eat enough great food for us, also! We love you both! Mom and Dad
