Wow, what a day! Seriously, Levico-Terme, you’ve got me all kinds of twisted. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I hit up Viale Vittorio Emanuele. I mean, who doesn’t love a good stroll? The trees are all green and stuff, and I’m feeling the vibe. But then, BAM! I trip over a cobblestone. Like, who even thought that was a good idea? I’m pretty sure I invented a new dance move.
Anyway, I finally make it to the market. Oh man, the market! Fresh produce everywhere! I’m talking juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and the best cheese you can imagine. I’m in heaven. But then, I see this lady. She’s got a cart full of stuff, and she’s blocking the whole aisle. I’m like, “Excuse me, ma’am, can I just squeeze by?” And she gives me this look like I just insulted her cat. Ugh, people!
After that little drama, I grab some gelato. Levico-Terme gelato is no joke. I go for pistachio, my fave. But guess what? They’re out! I mean, seriously? So, I settle for stracciatella. Not bad, but not pistachio. Life is cruel sometimes.
Next, I decide to check out the Parco Secolare degli Asburgo. It’s this beautiful park with ancient trees and a view that’ll knock your socks off. I’m wandering around, feeling all philosophical, when I see this couple taking selfies. They’re all lovey-dovey, and I’m like, “Aww, cute.” But then, they start arguing. Like, full-on shouting. I’m just standing there, eating my gelato, trying not to laugh.
Then, I head over to the Lago di Levico. The water is so clear, it’s like a mirror. I’m feeling zen, right? But then, I see a kid throw a rock into the lake. Splash! Water everywhere! I’m soaked! I mean, come on, kid! I’m not a fish!
After that, I’m like, “Okay, time to shop.” I hit up the local boutiques on Via Roma. There’s this cute little store with handmade jewelry. I’m browsing, and I find this amazing necklace. But the price? Yikes! I’m like, “Do I want to eat this week or wear this?” Tough choices, man.
So, I leave the store, feeling a bit defeated. But then, I spot a street performer. He’s playing the accordion, and it’s actually pretty good. I stop to listen, and suddenly, I’m in a good mood again. I toss him a couple of euros, and he gives me a wink. I’m like, “Yeah, buddy, you earned it!”
As the day winds down, I’m walking back through the streets, and I can’t help but feel grateful. Levico-Terme, with all its quirks and surprises, has a charm that’s hard to resist. Sure, I got angry, I got wet, and I almost cried over gelato, but it’s all part of the adventure, right?
So, I finally head home, exhausted but happy. I think about all the little moments that made the day special. Levico-Terme, you’re a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade you for anything. Can’t wait for the next adventure!
