Ciao! (That's the extent of my Italian)
After 2 flights, a train ride, taxi ride, and a 3-hour bus ride, I'm finally in my apartment in Siena! I live with 3 other girls from my program and I even have my own bedroom. Best of all,
my apartment is literally footsteps away from the main Piazza in town.
Last night was our arrival reception at some really good restaurant and they even served Prosecco..very classy. After dinner everyone crashed and we had to be up early this morning...those who know me well can only imagine how tired I am.
Today we had a walking tour of the city -- it isn't like Milan, Rome, or Florence...the city is really small and extremely walkable. It's BEAUTIFUL. Also, everything is SO clean. The city is extremely environmentally conscious and law mandates that everyone recycle. Littering is also very taboo - the streets are spotless. All of the shops are so nice and there's probably a gelateria or a pizzeria on every corner; even the food is gorgeous.
Also of note, there are adorable dogs absolutely everywhere. I left my camera at home today, but I'm sure that if I had brought it, the memory card would be full of cute dogs.
