Arrival in Mestre

Tuesday 15 May
Im in Mestre waiting to get into room – I left Venice about hour ago – early morning I finish packing and went to few of my “places” and bought this Italian Tarot Deck I wanted. So its my second Italian deck! As usual the cards are quite amazing. This deck is I Tarocchi dei Segretti. Its beautiful, and explanations are in English and Italian so it helps me learn language. Other deck I got in Trieste is from Milan and it’s the traditional deck Marseille. I am using it. With this one I asked question about the deck for me and I got reversed Emperor. Beautiful card showing man in his full power a ruler. Of course he is reversed since Im woman. I got Empress card from other deck about Whats next for me in Italy and she came up as Current Situation – She was not reversed. So it’s the full cycle.
The new deck helped me to move on cause I was feeling down this morning.
Anyway my two bags are packed and the main one is very very heavy. Also since United put me on US Air I have problem getting boarding pass and I think I will go to airport today. It was Very Smart for me to come to Mestre today rather than leave from Venice tomorrow.
I went from apartment after leaving keys in door and note for Guiseppe Scarpa whose office was across and he owns these buildings and we don’t speak same language yet we communicated. It just said Ciao It was very difficult for me to leave there and I did.
Now I have to deal with this boarding pass issue so I am going to airport today. I wanted to get photos on

It wasn’t easy to get here also – had to get this heavy luggage with me on vaporetto to bus station Piazzale Roma then to bus #4 with my bags on floor – the driver and one person in bus said it goes there to Piazza Ferretto – and one person said no. I decided the driver knows. So Im on this bus standing with bags on floor and glad to see hes following signs to Mestre. Then and here comes my Angel again – I ask a lady and she and her husband tell me they are going there and I understood. So we get off soon after I see this sign Hotel vivit with arrows. I follow them and it’s a walk and my bags are heavy – thank G_d for weight lifting. So I keep following them and it winds and I would never have found this without them! Then we arrive. It’s a Piazza and I don’t see Vivit so I go to these men and ask in what I think is Italian if they know Vivit – I use Cognosce and this man is really outraged at my language and I understand him as he says I should speak Italian and he only speaks it and then he calls me “Loco”. Meanwhile since I know this doesn’t mean anything I see Vivit sign and he is still ranting on calling me “Loco”.
That’s my experience coming here. Its okay place – now I have to deal with US Airways and a boarding pass for tomorrow.
More later…
