Perfect evening in Varignana with the army’s and Gherardis!! Learnt a lot about the history of the local area…

Found while taking a walk in the resort with Sharmila…

… found some interesting notes on the board signifying Juliet’s house in Verona while waiting outside for the family and friends to come out of the historical house of Juliet of the famous Romeo and Juliet fame!!

In case you had not guessed it already, “Casa Di Giulietta” is Italian for “Juliet’s house”

Enough of all forts and castles and old buildings and long dead people. Can we now just throw stones in the water? 🙂

This one was in a small place called Sermione on lake Garda. Most people would not know about it. I asked our young driver what would he cite as a great place he had taken his girlfriend to in the last one year. And that is where we went. Very beautiful place. After throwing stones, we sat down and had dinner on the lake.

“The valiant gladiator Habeaus Mobilus throws down his trusted gladius graecos – that would be his dagger – and in a final offensive push, reaches behind his waist and unleashes his… errr…. errr… mobile phone???”

As the old Roman game show host Nefarius Purpus once said … – The Pen might be mightier than the sword, but your best option is “Phone a Friend” … 🙂

P.S. Anybody remembers the reference to Asterix?

Watching all the folks on the streets of Rome (waiting for my family and friends to complete their tour of the Colosseum), I have another observation to make – Young women of today are sure to have three things – (i) an iPhone (ii) a very tight pair of jeans and (iii) a rectangular imprint on their right butt cheek … 🙂

… to realize how much the guy who invented selfies must be kicking himself for not patenting it 🙂
