Tuesday - We ate breakfast at the SalzburgerHof in Salzburg, checked out of the hotel and left for Innsbrook, Austria. Upon arrival we took a self-guided tour of the city, which we enjoyed very much. Bought an authentic Austrian hat from a street vendor. Had lunch at Zimt & Zucker Cafe and Bar then off to Verona, Italy for a visit to Juliet's wall. Took some photos of the balcony where Juliet called for Romeo. Savannah and Halle we able to write a letter to Juliet and place it in a mailbox designated for that purpose. It was a fun experience to be with them as they learned about Romeo and Juliet. The story of Romeo and Juliet, two your lovers from rival families (the Capulets and the Montagues in Shakespeare's play), was written by Luigi da Porto of Vicenza (Venice) in the 1520's and has inspired countless poems, films, ballets and dramas. At the Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's house), No. 27 Via Cappello. Romeo is said to have climbed to Juliet's balcony.
