Milan , Verona & Venice

---

It is a good thing that we were well rested! We saw Milan, Verona & Venice in one day! In Milan we walked on marble through the Galleria (the 1st shopping mall), spun on our heels for good luck on the bull, & dreamed of all the designer outfits we could never afford. The Gothic Cathedral was impressive from the outside, bu]t under renovation inside. In Verona, we walked along the city walls to the Roman Arena - then on to Juliet's balcony where Beth had her picture taken with Juliet's statue. Yes she did touch the breast for luck - although it took some encouragement from the group! We arrived in Venice by seranaded gondola. I loved seeing the ancient buildings along the canals. A water taxi took us to our island hotel for the evening. What else can I say?! It was a day full of memories!
