Or does a court try to hold us? We shook off that nasty tail the FBI has on Fifi and thanks be to Leer made it safely to Verona! Of course, everyone here seems very thrilled to see us. They either don’t care or don’t know that Fifi is a wanted woman. Oh, I do adore Italy!
After awakening in my lovely little palace, I called up for a cup or five of these…
…as jet lag can leave a girl so cranky and tired. But there is no more time for sleep! I am the hostess of a lovely little luncheon today given in honor of Fifi and there is so much to see before then!
I wandered about the streets of Verona as I made my way to the cafe…
The town is a so cozy and beautiful…
Maybe this was Juliet's balcony! I wonder if I through my LONG extensions over the edge if a handsome Italian man might…hmm…that was another balcony in another story…
It was a dizzying delight to look up and try to find the sky peaking down through the narrow streets.
Each street is more amazing than the last…We turn one more corner and…
we arrive at our lunch destination, Trattoria orand Osteria. It is one of the loveliest places to dine in Verona.
The dining room is just divine and it is reserved just for us. Looks at all that wine. I see a little sip of something in my future!
A lovely Italian salad is set for each of us…
Mmmm…and this lovely man is offering us all a taste of the fabulous white wine that is made in this part of Italy…a sip or two of Soave would be lovely with…
some tasty Italian breads.
It is a must to eat as much bigoli noodles as possible when in Italy…these are home made, tossed with a light anchovy sauce and so delicious!
“In "La vecchia cucina eugubina" they say that this noodle is as thick as a stocking making wooden knitting needles.”
I have no idea what that means but it’s fun to know!
A gorgeous lemon strawberry parfait is served for dessert but…
I have the thought to head back out to the streets, grab some gelato and…
wander around the sidewalk kiosks…
or maybe find a cafe chair to rest in as I watch life and all the beautiful…people! in Verona go by.
They really have found some interesting ways to get more use out of all the old buildings here. The Italians are truly brilliant!
Oh, no! A phone call from Fifi just now puts on us the run again! Our best idea is Venice! The streets are like a maze and we can run really fast! We will never be found there…
Off to Venice we go!
For some Outdoor Wednesday fun, please visit a Southern Daydreamer.
