Siena: City of Surprises

It's a rainy day here, which is perfect for a story about Siena! I admit that I'm enjoying watching the rain make rivers down the driveways out the window, rather than having to step in all the puddles. Not up to my usual adventurous self today...the rain is being very nap-inducing.

So, let's have a story about an adventure! On long weekends at the beginning of the Rome semester, my classmates went as far as England and Germany, but I ventured a little closer to home. Jamie, Deborah, and I joined Claire on her trip to Siena, a small medieval city north of Rome. Siena was one of my favorite trips that I made without the school, and this lovely city was full of surprises.
