We are so happy to know you all arrived to continent #2 safe and sound. Looking forward to pictures and journal entries as you continue on your exciting journey.
Sorry can't help with the dog. Well she will smell better when you get home. I am glad to hear from you guys and love you much. Stay safe and happy traveling.
What an adventure this has been!! We have enjoyed every post and every picture--thanks for sharing it all with us!! Have a safe journey back the good ol' USA--hope to see you all soon!!
You still have to go right by Romeo & Juliette's castles ( 11 km past Vicenza) between Vicenza & Verona . And the Roman arena in Verona where your relatives once had lunch with the lions ( they were the entree). Both are a should s ee and won't take but a couple of hours each if you are still in Italy.
Yep, but we are already six hours on the autostrada. Should have included the Verona amphitheater as Bird loves Roman history;). Next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
If you are going back to Venezia or Milano to catch a plane & you have time go to Vicenza ( us army base there) and Verona. In between is alto ceccato ( where I lived) and 2 km away is montecchio maggipre where Romeo & Juliette 's castles are. Nice little restaurant in Juliette's . In Verona there is a Roman colesium . Went to the opera there in summer. Kinda worth seeing.
The apartments almost invariably are refurbished older buildings. The one we are in now at Lake Maggiore the owner thinks is 100 years old. We think it is a good deal older. The space she developed is excellent, perhaps the best we have bee n in. Very spacious and modern. You are correct, they build differently here and also repair rather than replacing. We went to a preseason game before leaving for the trip and sat next to a couple visiting from Switzerland. They could not understand why we were tearing down the current stadium to build a new one. After several confused questions we finally said "it's because this is America". Okay, then they understood.
Still beautiful even if weather not perfect. Looks just like House Hunters Internstional. What are your apartments like? When were most of these structures built? We should be ashamed at how we just abandon structures in the U.S. Of course must not built to survive centuries like these.Fred's lunch sounded like the bible story of the fishes and loaves. Did not feed the multitudes.
Can't believe ya did not have a beer in every tent! When you get to lake Garda which is just above Verona you will find my presence there. I worked there summers when I lived in Verona and Vicenza . In Verona go to the Roman arena. We went to the opera there , drank wine and ate poninas and waited for the fat lady to sing. Between Verona and Vicenza is Romeo & Juliette's castles at montecchio maggipre which is 2 km from Alta ceccato where I lived in the yellow / biege apartment bldg. behind the Alta ceccato air compressor factory. Have lunch at the castle.
