Verona

So I was really looking forward to Verona, I love Romeo and Juliet and I pictured it to be a very quaint town full of charm and romance. Wrong! I'm not saying I did not like Verona, but it was nothing like what I expected. We had a lot of fun taking photos with some "guards" outside of the arena, but we couldn't go in because they were setting up for a concert. We walked around, I bought a very un-Brett shirt and got very excited when they said that I got a 15% discount for using my Amex. We then made our way to Juliets Balcony. For starters, anyone who has seen that cheesy movie 'Letters to Juliet' will have expected a pristine, clean area where women and men are writing notes and leaving them in the wall. I'll admit, I was looking to do that. When I got there, what I saw was gum stuck all over the little arched hallway leading to the area under the famous balcony and people who wrote their names in graffiti. My brothers stayed outside and I paid my 6 euro to go in, I took some photos which you can see for yourself, and I have a picture of me on the balcony. We then continued to just meander, took photos, sat at a cafe and had a drink and watched a cool performance of drums and capeiora which I filmed a little of and am going to post when it finally finishes uploading. Then we headed back to the hotel because it was Sunday and most things were closed. We hung out with two people we met at the hostel (which looked more like a hotel) and then went to bed because we had to get up at 7 to head to Florence. Here is a link to some photos of Verona:
