Internet Disappointment

Hi everyone!

We are really sorry for the lack of posts, but have not been able to use any free internet. And internet is not cheap! We would love to keep everyone posted with pictures and stories, but it just hasn't been possible. There's not enough time to explain what we've done, so we will sum up:

4 days in Milan with day trips to Como and Bergamo. Milan's duomo was so impressive! It is the third largest cathedral in Europe! Both Como and Bergamo were beautiful cities however, not much to do. Como had an amazing cathedral despite the city's small size. Italy definitely surprised us with its heat!

1 day in Brescia. Awesome archeological museum with beautiful remains of old Roman Villas! and a Capitoleum and Roman theater! Lucky find considering we never intended on going!

1 day in Padua where Shakespeare's tameable shrew was from. The city was one of our favorites full of old cathedrals much different from France. The churches are built with Renaissance designs and not Gothic which makes them much simpler and lighter, overall they were much warmer to be in even though their size is comparable to Gothic structures if not bigger.

Today we are spending the day in fair Verona where two starcrossed lovers took their lives.

Tomorrow we are heading for Venice for a couple of days! After Venice we are couchsurfing so hopefully we will be able to use a computer to catch up on photos :) Again, we are really sorry, once we can load photos again, we will try to post more than once a day, so be sure to check old posts!

Miss everyone!

  1. Nice to hear from you. When you have time would you just update your itinerary for me. Hope you're having a good time in Italy and seeing everything you wanted. Any chance you'll cut it short and head to Greece or Spain? Keep safe and have a great time! Love you. Kisses--
