"Verona: Romeo Void" Verona by Geisha_Girl

Verona Travel Guide: 1,694 reviews and 4,251 photos

I did a side trip to Verona, Italy en route to Venice for the sole purpose of visiting the home of "Romeo and Juliet." The timeless love story has been a favorite of mine since I first learned how to recite:

"Sweet, good night. This bud of love by summer's ripening breath may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night. As sweet repose and rest come to thy heart as that within my breast."

That was in 7th grade when I was FORCED by Mr. Hom, my comedic English teacher, to play Juliet opposite the geekiest guy in class. I'm still quite traumatized to this day from the "kissing" scene in Act V Scene 3....

Verona is a quaint little city that truly pays tribute to the famous playwright and the most famous love story of all time. There's a statue dedicated to our fair "Giulietta" in the middle of the town square.

    We should have each other to tea, huh? We should have each other with cream, then curl up by the fire and sleep for awhile, it's the grooviest thing, it's the perfect dream...

    "O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, / That monthly changes in her circle orb, / Lest that thy love prove likewise variable..." Act II - Scene 2

    So many Geisha pages still to visit..... I wonder if the little geek still dreams about the day he locked lips with "her".

    I'm sure you did a good job playing Juliet, but would you rather have kissed me?
