March 21, 2010 Italy and a spring spell
I made it into Italy. I am so thankful to be out of Morocco that I do not care if it is a day later or what were the circumstances that got me here. I made it!
I got into Milan around 3pm and easily followed directions to my friend Shayna’s house. I am one hell of a good metro navigator! Shayna lives at her work (she’s an au pair) so I am lucky to have been able to stay with her.
Staying with someone I knew was a refreshing experience. She understood immediatly how I have come to feel about traveling alone and together I think we fulfilled our need for peer-peer English conversation. Plus she was able to show me the sites of Milan. This only took about two hours though and that includes walking time – there really isn’t anything to see or do in Milan.
This afternoon I hopped the train to Venice and then the waterboat to the hostel. The experience was stunning – the city is smaller than you would think and crisscrossed by bridges like a spiders web. As the boat went around the canals a giant blood red sun set over the teal blue waters. It was incredible! As soon as the sun set behind the buildings everything got very cold very quickly. Beautiful, but cold.
