Packing Up -- and Sharing a Sketch. . .
I did get into Rome for a few hours today, riding the Regional train in with my daughter, who had an appointment with her hair-stylist. The few hours weren't enough, of course, but they were a pleasant and much-appreciated extra, given that the real purpose of my trip to Italy was to spend time with family, especially my granddaughter.
I've been so fortunate this year, managing to see her in January (a continuation of last year's December visit -- almost a month with her altogether), then a week in June in Croatia, and now these five days. But as lucky as I know I am, I suspect there will be tears tomorrow morning -- I'll try to keep them to myself until I've said good-bye, see if I can hold off until I'm checked in and through security. . . (very frustrated trying to check in online today and stuck in one of those abominable technological loops -- have to use the old-fashioned method tomorrow, crossing my fingers it still works).
It's likely to be a few days before I surface here again, what with a full day of travel, then dealing with the jetlag of a nine-hour time difference. In the meanwhile, let me share the sketching I did during my Slow Morning the other day. There's so much here that I can see how to improve, but let me stress again how much of the enjoyment in the sketching comes not from the product, but from the process. Sitting on that bench enjoying the intermittent sunshine (temperature of 17 Celsius!), not realizing until I got up that my pants were soaking up a layer of dew, immersed enough in the observing and the line-making that I easily ignored the passers-by, forgot to feel self-conscious. . .
Normally, I'd transcribe my scratchy writing for you, but priority right now has to be squeezing everything back into my suitcase and trying to get to bed early for a decent night's sleep, pre-flight . . . .
