Sketchbook Journeys – Italy: Day16 (Home at last!)

Well, here I am, almost a year after I flew off for my Italian adventure, and I’m finally posting the final pages of my travel journal – I’m nothing if not persistent!

It’s been fun reliving the journey as I finished up my pages, and, I’ll admit it, a lot of work, too. You’ve hung in there with me through sixty-seven pages of writing and sketches. Thank you.

It was a wonderful, amazing, incredible trip and keeping a sketchbook added immeasurably to the experience. I hope that reading about my adventures and seeing Italy through my sketches has inspired you to take a sketchbook along the next time you travel.

Home at last!

One final post to come tomorrow – I’ll show you some of the finishing touches I added to complete my Italy travel journal. You’ve never seen a spiral binding like the one on this sketchbook!
