SB 19, Day 7

Today was a gorgeous day. 72, sunny and not a cloud in the sky. We had planned to go to a particular park outside of Verona. 

Problem was, every person within an hour radius also thought this was a good plan. We never even made it, declaring the traffic ridiculous. 

So we joined the other half of northern Italy at Lake Garda. It was gorgeous. We ate lunch on the water, strolled the alleyways, checked out the medieval fortress and ate gelato... which, by the way, is necessarily daily (at least according to Grant).

After that, we headed to a thermal hot spring. The region is littered with them, and we're felt quite local sunbathing and swimming in the warm spring. 

Ravenous, we headed to a small TripAdvisor find for dinner. The two owners split the cooking and waitstaff duties and were charmingly hospitable. We felt like old friends at the end of the night, and the food was sublime. 

We leave the warmth of Italy tomorrow with full bellies and a lifetime of memories. Into the cold once more...
