I slept in until almost 9:30 today. I haven’t done that in ages. It’s a whirlwind here, and though I’m absolutely thrilled to be here and enjoying every minute, I’m pretty exhausted, too!
Today we spent the afternoon at San Gimingano, a very beautiful, very touristy, walled city on a hill about an hour and a half north of Siena. The bus ride there, through the beautiful, rolling Tuscan hills, in fact made me very sick. Other than that, it was a gorgeous day to be outside, take photos, and eat gelato from a gelataria that claims to have the best in the world. The most fun part of the day, though, was after all the touristy hustle and bustle had died down and Molly and I were walking home from the bus stop. We were a little hungry, even after all the gelato, and decided to stop at the bar/little store about 5 minute walk from our house. There were a couple of girls in there who told us that there was the best pizza here! We stopped and had some pizza and beer and made conversation with the store owner. I’m sure we’ll be repeat customers here.

AuthorHello! Ciao! I'm originally from the rural Finger Lakes region of New York state, but I've lived in Michigan, Japan, South Korea, and now, Siena! I originally got into the field of education after teaching English in South Korea. I've continued to study education because kid-brains never cease to astound me. Apart from spending lots of classroom time with young children, I really love to run. I am excited to explore the gorgeous Tuscan hills on foot. Hopefully all the hiking will balance out the ridiculous amounts of pasta and cheese I am sure to consume. Thanks for following along! Archives
