SIENA

On Monday, Liz and I went to Siena. We weren't sure if we should go, because it was raining in the morning, but we decided that we weren't going to get another opportunity to go before the end of the semester, so we walked to the bus station and were on our way.

There's not really much to see in Siena, but it is a beautiful little town, and they were decorating for Christmas, so it enhanced the beauty of the area. The rain stopped as we arrived, and didn't start up again until we were back in Florence, so it worked out perfectly.

Siena is a hilly town, so don't wear your stilettos and prepare to get a calf workout.
