Siena Slumber
Yesterday was a lazy day. Jenn, Russell, Liz and I went to Siena by bus. We walked around for about five minutes but then found the main square and sat around for a couple of hours doing nothing but enjoying sun. Russell and I did get a frappe(milkshake) while the women got cappucinos. They drink so much coffee that I swear they have caffeine coming out of their pores. Well after the two hours in the sun, we managed to pry ourselves from the seats we had made our homes and made our way over to Il Duomo. I think I'm becoming numb to all the religious iconography and imagery because all the churches look the same. I'll tell ya one thing though, Italians sure like their religion and displaying it to everyone who can see.
Well after the short trip to the religious place aka Il Duomo, we headed back to the square for lunch(~2pm) and bumped into our friends David, Glosselle, and their son Mason. We then headed over to one of the many little restaurants on the perimeter of the square and had some pizza. Yesterday was actually the first time I ate a pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni here is a little different from back home in that the pepperoni is much more spicy but still very good. The crust here is also very thin, but I'm a fan of very thick crust pizza.
We meandered back to the bus station and on the way bumped into Dave and Glosselle again. They joined us back on the bus ride back to Firenze of which I don't remember much because I was half asleep.
We didn't spend much time back at home because we all went out to grab stuff for dinner that night. We were supposed to make dinner for Dave, Glosselle, Mason, and the tour guide who took us around the Chianti region on Wednesday. However it ended up only being the six of us staying here in the apartment, which was still awesome. I had a great time cooking, drinking wine, and eating. My idea of a perfect evening is having a few people over for some good food, drinks, and music while we enjoy each other's company. I know it sounds a bit cheesy but damn it's hard to think of a better way to spend time. If I'm cooking too, then all the more better.
