Verona

Roman Colliseum plaza with farmer's market.

Another market, check out the frescos on the walls of the buildings!

Interior of Castle Vecchio, now an art museum designed by Carlo Scarpa.

Saved frescos, I loved that there were pieces that had fallen off, the image was almost more interesting because of what was missing.

Looking down onto some of the ways in which Scarpa created 'historical clarity'

View of bridge leaving the castle and the hillsides around Verona

Cyprus trees! So stunning.

Giardino Giusti, a private garden that felt like heaven

Lacey tempting me with a scrap of food. She has gotten to know me well.

Exterior of a bank designed by Scarpa.

Red staircase.

Designed down to the details...a handrail in the bank.

We visited Verona on Friday, a full day trip an hour away on the train. It was such a breath of fresh air to be there, it's amazing how the experience of living in Venice has changed the way I feel about my body in relation to my surroundings. We don't often get vistas in Venice, or lush gardens, so being in Verona was sweet relief. The light there was stunning, perhaps it's all the pink and white stone, and the dark cyprus trees, but it felt golden and lovely.
