Italia!

Yesterday evening we arrived in Italy by train from Munich. I don't think that I've written about Munich yet, and well, there isn't too much to say. The weather was pretty cold and rainy, so we just spent a lot of time indoors with Hannah's family, who we stayed with.

Luckily, the weather in Italy has been amazing. Today we went with my friend Barbara to Verona, where she goes to school, and we walked around the city while she took an exam. We met up with her later and had lunch, saw the arena, and also the Juliet House. Although, Verona is where Romeo and Juliet is set, everyone is pretty sure that this was NOT Juliet's house. It's just a really old house that has been turned into a tourist trap. There is some cool graffiti on the walls nearby though. In the afternoon we took the train back to Desenzano del Garda, which is a town close to Barbara's house. She lives in one of the small towns on Lake Garda, and the view from the second floor is absolutely amazing. From the front yard we can see a medieval castle. It's incredible.

What else? Well, I've had gelato three times since I've been here, and tomorrow we're going to Venice for the day. Love it!
