... I think the oldest building I've ever been in - it was built in 30 AD (that's a 2 digit year, not a typo)

Castelvechio was also pretty cool and had some great art inside.

... most of her family had gathered to roast chestnuts (on an open fire). I ate so much, and I think that was the night I OD'd on chestnuts. I met even more members of her family which I didn't think was even possible. Now that I only have a couple weeks left I feel like I've finally adjusted to life here and am actually enjoying myself.

... highest degree (I might even say that it approaches the Form of Beauty which Plato described). Religion, reason, and artistry combined into one structure...no matter what your faith, or your lack thereof, you can't fail to be awed. All over Verona, churches grace the landscape. For me, student of art and religion that I am, it's a paradise of sight. Each church is different. San Anastasia, with its ...
