Day 15: Siena

We took a bus to Siena. Personally at first glance Siena looked like a medieval town, but hearing the stories behind the town made it that much better. We got taken around the town and told about the history.

Siena is known for the horse races. 10 of the 17 districts race around the main square. The district who wins, put their flags up all over their part of the town, every night theres a celebration party and this goes on for until the next race and there is a new winner.

After the tour we had some free time. Jenna, Taylor, Nicole, Mikayla and I went out for lunch. I had pizza, so did Nicole and mikalya. Jenna got pasta and Taylor got soup. It was a really good meal. After we looked in a few shops and got a few soveniors. I got a few pins and a map. We then finally met up with out group. 

On the way back to the bus I had the chance to talk to Molly, our tour guide. She was telling me about being a guide and I was telling her about how that was one of my possible career choices I wanted to do. She told me it was a great career to do, as well as what I would have to do in order to have that career. I really enjoyed our conversation about that.

After our bus ride back to Florence, we left for dinner. We went to the first American style diner in the Tuscany region. I am 99.9% everyone enjoyed this meal, since we wanted a small break from Italian food. We had a limit of 15€ if we went over we had to pay extra, so we had our own choice of what to eat. I got a strawberry banana smoothie, bacon (REAL CANADIAN BACON) cheeseburger with fries. I honestly could not finish it all, but it was completely amazing. The smoothie was defiantly fresh and burger was defiantly delicious.
