I woke homesick this morning. But thanks to a wonderful talk on skype with my hubby and ellie I felt much better. So I ventured out a couple of times today and was glad I did. The weather was gray and bleak this morning but by this afternoon it cleared and was beautiful.
There is a wonderful art supply store not far from my hotel. After choosing a lovely small sketchbook I made my way to the beach. Did some sketching, attracted a flurry of japenese tourists and soaked up some sun.
When I began planning this trip I said I would be sketching everyday. My well traveled critique group buddies said I probably wouldn't have time, guess what, they were right. I'm so busy looking that I rarely stop to sketch. Maybe with my new sketchbook that will change. One can only hope...

Hey you! Just wanted to let you know I made it home safely and had a great night's sleep. Thank you for the amzing adventure we will be talking about it for years :) and I am very proud of you for going it on your own!! I knew you could do it all along. Enjoy the rest of your trip I will be checking on you...xoxoxoxo
Beautiful place!
Heh - I think I drew once the entire 2 weeks I was in Italy. Too much to see and soak in~! Keep taking lots of pictures. That will help.
And maybe in a few years we should try going over for the entire summer. We might be able to sketch/paint then. :-)
