Today is the final day of our trip to
Italy. It has been 9 incredible days and loved every place I went to. It’s a
bittersweet ending. I am ready to be stationary again but I loved Italy so
much. We had some time in the morning to do what we wanted before catching a
train. I decided to just wander around as I had completed pretty much
everything I wanted to see. I made it all the way to the Bridge Rialto before
running into someone I knew. She had a plan and I didn’t so I just followed
her.
We walked to the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia or IUVA which was the
local university in Venice. Carlo Scarpa designed a gate to the entrance. It
was very intricately designed much like most of Scarpa’s things. We grabbed
some lunch before heading back to the hotel to grab our baggage. We caught our train
and much to everyone’s disappointment left Venice behind. It was a long train
home but one that gave us time to decompress and get our affairs in order. It
will be nice to relax in Riva but I definitely already miss Italy.
