We went to Italy for two days before taking our flight back home. We stayed with our friend Carly and our friend Riann was awesome enough to cancel her plans for two days and show us all around.

The Church of St Mary of Mount Berico is a beautiful church up on a hill. Before the church was built, the people of Vicenza had been suffering from a plague for years. The legend is that Mary appeared twice and told them if they built this church the plague would stop, and it did.
We went to the Castle in Soave. It was a beautiful little hike up through the cute little town.

The second day we headed to Verona, mostly notable as the setting for Romeo and Juliet.
