Verona With My Parents

    A couple days before we went to Rome, on 4/16, I took my parents to Verona. {I forgot to post about it, so I am going to now.} After getting lost a couple times, we finally found it. As soon as we walked into Piazza Bra and I saw all the booths, I got excited because it only meant one thing... market day!

We bought a couple pastries for breakfast.

Connor liked licking the powdered sugar.

So many fresh foods to choose from.

Meats and cheeses.

Dried fruits and nuts.

These spices smelled wonderful!

    After walking through the market, we walked down Via Mazzini: a long street lined with designer stores.

    After shopping for a bit, we were hungry for lunch. We decided on a restaurant that served big burgers. My mom and I were craving something other than Italian food.

The menu was huge!

     My mom really wanted to buy a painting from somewhere we visited while she was here. While we were eating, we saw an artist at his stand with a lot of his artwork for sale. As soon as she saw it, she knew she had to buy one of his pieces.

     Afterwards, we drove to Castello Bevilacqua. I was under the assumption that we would be able to tour the castle, since my friend has before, but when we got there we were told they didn't have any guides for us in English. We were allowed to walk around and "tour" it ourselves, but we had no idea what we were looking at. It was still beautiful, even though it wasn't what we expected.
