| never figured this one out. I could make something up... |
Went to Verona on the weekend -- a lovely city but it was quite hot. Romeo and Giulietta lived (and more importantly died) there. There is a renovated balcony/shrine that is the popular tourist destination. I found the Garden Giusti more interesting -- a traditional Italian garden with some Roman artifacts, cyprus trees, and hedges. Almost deserted and a lovely view of the river.
The Umbria Jazz festival has been on for a few days now and the town is packed. I saw Santana on a very hot evening -- I expect it was still over 30 at midnight. The drum solos were the big surprise for me -- awesome. Sergio Mendes also gave a good performance a couple of evenings later.
It has been an interesting time to be in Italy -- events in Tunisia and Libya, Greece and the EU, Ruby and other Berlusconi missteps have given us lots to talk about over lunch, besides soccer which is the main topic of interest besides work.
