Italy Part One: Montegrotto Terme

Since it has been a week since my last update, I thought maybe I should get around to filling you all in on my Easter trip... I am currently enjoying a relaxing evening with my beloved Aunt Ruth where there is internet & television aplenty, which makes it feel like a good blog writing time. So here goes, day trip one in Italy, our little town of Montegrotto Terme :)

We arrived in Italy on Saturday the 9th of April and enjoyed a couple of relaxing days in the town before venturing off on any intense day trips (i.e. Verona, Venice, & Padua). Our first adventure occurred only a few short minutes away from the home base (pictures of which will be included as well, wow this post is unorganized) at the butterfly garden. It was beautiful. Lots of cute butterflies. I was in love. & during part of our little butterfly walk, one butterfly decided to land on my arm & stay there for a couple days (well, until Grandma forced him off). It was the best. I think I met my best friend.

But oh no, butterflies were not all we saw. There was also an outdoor garden with lots of pictures of fairies and goblins. It reminded me a great deal of Pan's Labyrinth. I was overjoyed. I even got a keychain. Here are pictures of the day's events. Enjoy.

Too many pictures? I know.
