Buon Giorno!

It is now my 4th full day in Italy, I’m finally adjusting to the time difference and actually slept all night last night, Mommy and Daddy had to wake me up this morning so we could make our train to Verona.

Yesterday Daddy dropped Aunt Tracy off at work so we could borrow her car to go sight-seeing. He said it was really stressful driving but thanks to the GPS and Aunt Tracy’s directions we didn’t get lost. We decided to head to Nove since we had heard that they make nice ceramics there; it was a nice scenic drive through the countryside.

After visiting Nove we decided to head up the mountain to the town of Asiago. We love cheese so we felt like this is a town we needed to visit. Unfortunately we arrived in Asiago during the “reposo” time so we didn’t see much except closed shops and tourist facilities. We did have lunch at a nice little restaurant in the mountain where the owners didn’t speak any English. It was a test of Mommy and Daddy’s limited Italian but they managed. Since I’m such a handsome boy I attract a lot of attention and so they had to answer a lot of questions and I think did a good job.

Today we took the train to Verona, it was my first train ride and I found the ride to be very relaxing. We only had to change trains once but when we did we had to run for it since our first train was late arriving. Once we made it to Verona we caught a taxi to the center of town to check out the sites. We visited them all in a very quick pace because I wasn’t in a good mood today. We did see casa di Giulietta, as in Romeo and Juliette, and the Arena. I thought they were neat but since I haven’t read much Shakespeare yet didn’t fully appreciate the sites.

We ended the day with dinner at an Indian restaurant near Aunt Tracy’s house; she was tired of Italian food. Tomorrow Aunt Tracy is putting us on a train to Venice before she goes to work. I’m excited and hope to be in a better mood so Mommy and Daddy can savor the sites a bit more. Ciao!
