While we were there a few of the Spanish Baha'is got together to perform some Spanish songs. We were forgotten from the performance :( however, it was great nonetheless! 
While in Verona, we headed into town to see what Veronan (?) culture was all about. This was the best we came up with.
However, since we were in Fair Verona, we couldn't skip on the obligatory stop at Juliet's balcony and statue. We uh, did skip out on the "good luck for love" rub of Juliet's hoo-hahs though. I'm pretty sure the luck works a lot better for the guys.
Downtown Verona: A nice contrast between old and new...
Mm didnt't mean to upload this photo, however I can't figure out how to delete it haha. This would be the only really authentic Italian food I ate for the trip - a fried chickpea specialty of Livorno, on the west coast of Tuscany. Also, EstaTHE, Italy's finest flowery drink!
Livorno, Italy. Sunset on our last day
Myself, Sohrab, Desirae (both currently living in Mardrid as well), Emma (our wonderful host that we met at the Baha'i conference - from Pisa, and Carmel from Australia
O my dearest Carmel, how happy this face makes me! Pure bliss
Florence, Italy. A brisk day in January
Jumping photos are obligatory when traveling. Florence, again
In person, this statue was art. As a photograph, we felt it appropriate it to keep it a bit more chaste :)
Italian dinner party! Emma invited a bunch of friends over for dinner. Emma taught us how to make tirasmisu and the others made pasta. Perhaps it was the atmosphere influencing my tastebuds, but pasta really has never tasted so good! After dessert we then proceeded to play an authentic, but internationally renown game...Mafia!!
Carmel and I hard at work with the tiramisu
The travel companions. The four of us traveled together from Verona to Venice, Florence, Pisa and Livorno. Honestly could not ask for a better travel group. We're planning a travel reunion in Australia or Amsterdam next winter :)
More of Florence
Leaning tower and accompanying church
Yeah, we leaned on

Our day in Venice! Our group as well as a bunch of other Baha'is from the conference headed over to Venice for the New Years (best place for New Years ever... we literally had the perfect night!) and the next day as well. No gandala rides for us, hopefully another time when we're not all students and dirt poor!
Our travel group in Florence.
Well, that's all she wrote for now!
An incredible trip with wonderful people. Italy, I'll be back soon...
