I woke up this morning at 11:30, which was actually pretty late for me but I wasn't worried. It was Sunday and I had nothing going on. I found out around 12:30 however that our time change was last night. So, that means instead of sleeping until 11:30, I was actually up at 10:30am! I didn't feel so bad after that. :)Ivonne (Mario's gf) asked me if I wanted to go with her and 2 of her friends to Siena for the day. This was the city that has the horse races every year that I went to this past August. My plans for the day consisted of pj's, movies and room cleaning so I was glad when the opportunity arose for me to get out of my jammies and get out of Florence for the day.
We made it to Siena around 3pm and walked through some of the streets. It was actually a very nice little city without a million people running through it. :) We stopped for gelato and then headed to the Duomo (the main church) to check out the museum as well as climb to the top for a panoramic view of the city. The climb up was a bit of a killer but the view was well worth it, as it always is.
Once down from the Duomo we headed back to the car. While on our way to the car we all ended up talking about Christmas. We were all saying how much we enjoyed Christmas music and I was saying that I couldn't wait to start playing it. Well, luck be to us, Lorenzo just happened to have Christmas carols on his Ipod and we were able to listen to them for the hour car ride back to Florence. It was very nice and I now I can't wait until Christmas!Gelato: 1/2 Caramel & 1/2 Choc chip
Temp: a beautiful 19 degrees today
