Day 13
We are on the train to Venice right now.
It was hell trying to find it and find our seats! So when we finally think we found the train, we don't see anywhere to get our tickets checked so we just get on. We don't know how to read our tickets so we keep asking people and they just keep pointing. We got on the train and we were in car 1. We had to walk through this really skinny aisle with people in it to get all the way to car 8. It would have been so much easier if we knew that from the beginning. And we could have walked on the outside to car 8 if we knew when the train was actually going to pull away. We were rushing and panicking to find these seats because we thought the train was about to start moving. Turns out we actually had at least 15-20 minutes! God!! At least now we know.
So, it takes about 2.5 hours to get to Venice. It will be around 8:30 or 9PM when we get there. Our hotel is supposed to be really easy to find - I hope it is. I was hoping for some really awesome scenery on our way there but so far it has been corn fields so it looks just like Michigan. Haha. We had air conditioning but it just got turned off and it's getting really warm really fast.
Today in class I finished coloring all of my drawings. Now I have to start the technicals, figure out my fabrics and put it all in the book and that's it!
