PS.My notes from the train as I left Venice

I had forgotten to add these notes which I made on my Blackberry on the six hour train trip from Venice to Rome the day befiore I left....


So I watch Italy fly by f 6 person comprt. Many tunnels block the view. Makes my ears pop a bit. Andy&Megan, Ping, Marco. Really wonderful to have made this jy. Firenze, Bologna, Padua, Maestre, Arezzo at 5:12, Did I ever hear of Arezzo before? Rigutino. Camucia. We don't even slow down as we pass Castilon. We stop at Terontola. That is ter-on-tola. Panicale.
Chiusi-Chianciano Terme.(Conductor called out Chiusi ChiaTerm) Hope I can find place nr Termini for big plate of pasta but may just head to the airport.
Very flat here. Evergree tree farms. Fields brown & raked & quiet unil nxt year. Lovely cloud formatns advertise sunny days ahead. People walkg home f work. Lvs on trees show foliage colors of reds & yellows& rust. Another conductor checks my ticket . Flat fields fly by.
laundry dryg on balconies filled w chairs&plants&misc things to make living easier.
Sun has come out to say goodbye!
Countryside, rivers, rushg streams
Hills, acres or hectares of vineyards
Waitg for harvest! Parallel to highways. Church steeples. I'm hanging on to remember it all-miss nothing! On top of the trees.another long tunnel. Ugly power wires! Subaru Forester in a field looks abandoned, but too new to have been.
Man w cart walks by callg out misc food items for sale. Can only make out cappicino f mumble. Vendors at the ballpark are far more articulate. His enunciation lvs MUCH to be desired!plus sm box of candy was €2.50!

Now it is time to reflect. Look forward; look back! 70 is just a number. "I thought you said she was 70!"
Every big trip is the trip of a lifetime!
Takg pix need to go to camera shop to see why it doesn't do what I think it should! So I'm defly nearly home thinkg that way!
Gamey fellow travellers crowded into this compartmt now! Most of them are sleepg.
SPECTACULAR SUN! After2 gray days of rain le sol e bellesimo!
The electronic traveller w head phone, Blackberries, ubiquitous mobile phone.
On the other hand I truly can not get on the plane soon enough tomorrow!
I've got my Kindle out & have read some of Crime & Punishmt but also Ca Rezzonico book which is only major tourist purchase I made. So if Kindle loses power I can read my tourist book.
I've abt another 90 minutes on the train and luckily it is till light. I DO want to make this last! Interstg to watch wires dip as we pass them. Are they electrical wires? Man ridg a white horse. And I'm sittg backwards. Tough now to keep my eyes open. Towerr w 7-8 levels to climb alongside tracks for? "I'm king of the castle?"
FAST train way over on another set of tracks.
Now a bit over an hour to Roma!
