Verona kind of holds a special place in my heart. We went there
and saw the sights (if you have seen Letters to Juliet then you will know what I am talking about). We saw Roman
arena, Juliet’s balcony and the Statue of Juliet. And the story goes that if
you touch her left breast you should wish for love and if you touch her right
you should wish for money. So naturally, since Ashley has Hutch and I had
nobody, I touched the left and wished for love (she touched the right for
money). And what can I say…less than a year after that I found the love of my life
:) Maybe if you are looking for love you need a trip to Verona! Then we made
our way to the Fashion Capital, Milan! Although, I think we can both say we
were kind of disappointed with it. We didn't have enough money to buy all the
designer things we say so we just walked around and tried to avoid getting harassed
by a gypsy or two. I did of course buy a pair of shoes there…I had to! After we
preoccupied ourselves with our own humor we got back on the bus and headed to
our hotel at Lake Maggiore. I have to say I think I liked this hotel the most!
Plus, it was snowing!!! So being the typical Texas we are we had some fun in
the snow and made a little snow man and snow angle.

The next day we had an excursion to Lake Como and Lugano. Lake Como is where part Ocean’s 12 was filmed and where George Clooney has a house…well a lot of famous people have homes. And we walked around the town a bit. The we headed up to the Italian speaking area of Switzerland, it was a Sunday so most of the shops were closed :( boo, would have been so nice to shop there (better exchange rate too!). So we just walked around the lake and bought some little souvenirs and we were headed back to the hotel.
