Dear Art-loving friend,
I left Firenze for Trieste,Italy, on a night train recently. It
turned out that I had about a 6-hour layover before catching a bus into Croatia,
my new home for the next couple of months.
Trieste is far more interesting than I had anticipated! Check
it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trieste
I had a few errands to run
while I was still in Italy (and had some idea of what I was doing) and sadly,
the cold that I caught before I left Firenze was starting to kick in. I did not see as much of the city or
especially even the port area as I wanted to.
Instead I returned to the station and sat in the warm café and worked on
my laptop until the bus came. I will say
that I was delighted that the train station only charged three euro per bag per
day for storage! And the guy let me add
my easel to my bags without an extra charge.
Tomorrow I show you some
SCULPTURE (I cannot WAIT to get back to carving stone on a daily basis), and
the last post will be about the post office.
Sounds exciting, no?
In any event, I hope that
you enjoy some of these architectural shots I took while walking around
Trieste. One can see that, like many
northern Italian towns, the flavor starts to feel more Austrian than Italian,
more Vienna than Roma. Look at the WIKI link
above to learn more about the ever-changing dynamics of the history of Trieste.
