Quatre Églises ~ 18th March

Today was our tour of the Veronese churches (after a 6 mile early morning run around town, of course!). It was also the first day of not using the car, which was great!
We walked into the city, getting the hang of crossing roads 'Italian-style' (see a gap and go for it - they'll probably/possibly stop). It was a decent walk in, and the weather was warm and bright. Heading back to the Roman Arena, and the non-elucidating Turismo Ufficio, we started our tour at San Zeno, whom I believe to be the patron saint of Verona. Beautiful! Art everywhere. Frescoe coming out of one's ears.
Then lunch at a recommended restaurant (Tre Risotti). Excellent food, all ordered in Italian! (Not good Italian, I hasten to add). Diane pitched in with the ordering, and we nearly had a litre of wine to get through over lunch!
Three more churches to go on our 'cumulativo' tickets, and the boys were brilliant. Jude has skipped quietly around more sacred spaces than most people.....ever!
Then, at the end of a long day, we walked the couple of miles back to our apartment. A lovely day with quite lovely children.
Tomorrow we move on to near Siena, and a place in the midst of a vineyard. It's tough, but one braces oneself to endure!
