Longer blog post to hopefully follow soon (we have two days of wine school, so hopefully our schedule will have a little more free time....rough life, I know) but the long and the short of it:
1)St. Francis of Assisi has probably been my favorite church we have visited so far. The town of Assisi itself is beautiful and has a fantastic view.
2)Siena is very cool and seems to be more college student friendly than the other cities we have been to before. I am really excited to see the city more tomorrow. Hopefully at least a few things will be open, even though it's Sunday
3)I never realized how much I enjoyed having free time to just be alone, because usually I hate being alone. Being with the same group 24/7 has been quite a change of pace and I find myself needing the night time to just catch a little break and enjoy peace and quiet.
4)TUSCANY IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Even though it's winter and everything is bare, it's still gorgeous. Today i took a nap on the bus when we were driving from Assisi to Siena and I woke up and was angry that I had been sleeping through such beautiful countryside. One day I would definitely like to come back when things are in season and it's even greener. I tried to take a few pictures, but nothing can really capture the essence of the view. We've been hiking up a lot more hills as of late (which is good, considering the amount of pasta we've been eating!) but the best views are definitely from the top of the mountain.
5) In the words of Katie Love: "I am a sleepy chicken"..... even though I don't really understand this phrase....I know it means that I am tired and I am going to bed.
Hope all is well with everyone! Lots of Love!
