A less-famous English sight


Verona, Italy, is known for the story of Romeo and Juliet, as popularized by William Shakespeare. When my family and I visited Verona on our recent trip to Italy, we were taken to see Juliet's balcony, or at least that's what they say it is. I found a football shop nearby a lot more interesting. It was less crowded, too. I bought us a couple of umbrellas at the shop, as it was pouring in Verona that day, and I also took a look at the dozens of football scarves for sale. I was particularly glad to see a Queens Park Rangers scarf, as that's the side that my friend James from London supports. He enjoyed seeing this photo and sharing it with some other QPR supporters.

I have sifted all the football-related photos out of the more than 1,300 photos that I took in Italy. (Digital cameras with high-capacity memory chips are almost too enabling for me, as I find myself taking pictures of damn near everything.) I hope to share more of them in the next few weeks.
