Winding Down in Verona

We ventured back to Verona for our final night in Italy.  What an amazing ride we've had.  Each place we visited gave us a different taste of this wonderful country and her people.  

City streets were abuzz with tourists and locals going about their day.  

We walked through the streets and crossed bridges exploring this smaller likeness of Rome.

Each different vantage point gave you a peek through the buildings or trees to see a way of life that evokes a city life but also has a comfortable, laid back feel about it.

The Arena was definitely a place we wanted to see.  The 2026 Olympics will be hosted in Cortina Italy in the Dolomites.  Closing ceremonies will take place at the Verona Arena.  

 We sat there imagining the Olympians walking through the entrance following their stretch of competitions.


I do believe Jim may have found the perfect seat to watch them from.  Hmmmm ....maybe!

 Now wouldn't that be a treat!

 Considered to be "off season" there was still much to see and do along with fellow tourists.  If you're considering a trip to Italy do consider the areas we visited.  Some are a bit off the beaten "tourist" path but we found them to be delightful in every way.

 Sights, sounds, colors          .....bellisimo

 Sitting at the cafe outside of the Arena as we whittled down to our last evening.  A holiday that truly did exceed our expectations on every level.  Perhaps we've reached that point where we should be
celebrating our anniversary in style each year - rather than waiting for a big number!

Mille Grazie
Ciao

enjoy,
