I've been really restless lately. My travel buddy is gone, and it's actually quite hard to find people who want to just go and do stuff for some reason.
So, I decided to go to Venice by myself this morning to get some birthday gift shopping done. Mission accomplished! It was a beautiful day there, and those in our family who have birthdays coming up should be very happy.
I was very happy too. I treated myself to a Murano glass tulip picture frame that I had my eye on when I was there a couple of months ago.
I had an interesting train ride back. I brought my crosstitch project, and an Italian woman came out of her way to compliment me on how beautiful it is. I must say, I never thought I'd see the day when someone would compliment a craft I'm working on. I am the least crafty person in the world. I'm sure my mom and sister are laughing at me right now.
Also, my train ride home included my first Italian cross-dresser sighting. Seriously, I never thought I'd see this day either. Italians are not really into that kind of thing. Very strange.
But, I had a fantastic time, and found that I can be a great traveling companion for myself!

Ooh, that sounds like such a lovely day! Sometimes being alone is such a good thing. I'm glad you had a good time.
