Verona

A few photos and comments about Verona and some of the sights. (Remember you can click on any of these for a close-up.)

The Adige River runs through Verona.

 The Giusti Gardens are amazing:

The church of Sant'Anastasia is very impressive, although there are some curiosities, as you'll see.

Here's an unnamed naked guy with snakes crawling up his legs, visiting Mary and the baby Jesus. I don't blame Mary for looking in the other direction.

Here's an interesting trio of saints. Sebastian with a bunch of arrows, the guy in the middle with an Excedrin headache (click on the picture), and the guy on the right flashing a little leg while Toto does a little dance at his feet.

Jazz hands Jesus.

And even though the picture turned out fuzzy, I had to share this one of Our Lady of the Hair Rollers.

Here's some sweet love graffiti we found on a wall. It reads: "The world changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curve of your lips rewrites history." Awwww. How appropriate in the hometown of Romeo and Juliet.
