Tuesday morning, 10/12. On-board train from Venezia to Milano. Arrived noon, then caught train to Mendrisio, where I did presentation at the school of architecture, “60 Years of Natural Building.”
Train station such a relief after airports. Way less stress.
Trains leave right from the edge of Venezia’s Canal Grande.
Train pulled out, on the dot.
The last time I was in Milano was 1957, buying a new Lambretta motor scooter for what turned out to a 3- month, 10,000 mile trip youth-hosteling it through Europe.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the

Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
