Last evening

I am virtually packed, but my sister law is certain i'll leave something.

Tonight I have been to a concert by a choir from Traverse City, Michigan. They were wonderful. I went down to Piazza San Marco for a final look & had a last prosecco at Florian's.
Then I met an English couple who took me out to dinner, a wonderful climax to my time here.

A few final thoughts.
What have I missed while here? Family & friends. An Indian takeaway. Roast beef & Yorkshire pudding. My hot tub.

What have I not missed. My car, traffic, meetings, louts hanging around

What will I miss when I get back home? Public transport. Sitting in a bar people watching. The safety walking alone late at night. The galleries & museums.

But I have an invitation to dinner in October at sone Italian friends. Several have asked when I will return & there is so much still I want to see & do & really try to get to grips with italian beauocracy.

Watch this space..............................

Last day

I had a wonderful day in Trieste last Wednesday. We were able to visit places not normally e visited two banks which were former Palazzi and contained wonderful paintings, sculputures and woodwork. We also visited three churches & saw a recently discovered fresco possibly by Giotto.

That evening I had two local friends over for dinner which was great & we had a very late night. Which was followed by an equally late one last night when I was at The Chapain's House to dinner. Marilyn had made stuffed Zzuccini flowers which I love.

Now it is Friday, my last day & I have to pack before going off to my last Yoga class.
