Saturday morning we took a three hour bus to Verona, home of Romeo and Juliet. Other than that, I didn't really know anything else about the place, but was actually a very pretty city. We took a bus tour around town and up to a hill overlooking the city, the view was amazing. We saw a castle, their Duomo (Not as good as our Duomo), Juliet's house, and the remains of the wall built to defend the city. The rest of our time in Verona was pretty quiet, other than watching Germany crush Argentina.
The next day we went to Lake Garda, specifically Sirmione, a town on a small peninsula that juts into the lake. The lake was beautiful, I really enjoyed our time there, though it made me wish I could have made it to Lake Como (hence the phrase "Lake Como Light"). We took a ferry around the peninsula and our captain pointed out the Roman ruins and hot springs. We spent the rest of the day enjoying the water and celebrating the 4th of July. Not your typical Independence Day, but it was fun.
And now begins our last week... sad.
