The next day, Saturday, March 26, also had an interesting beginning! Once again, an alarm didn’t go off, but we weren’t waiting this time. The three of us caught the train and assumed our friend was not going to make it in time. By some great miracle she showed up on the train a few minutes later. We’re still not sure how that happened! Happy that we were all together, we arrived in Siena to begin our next interesting adventure. We hopped on the bus to take us to old Siena, didn’t get off when we were supposed to, and ended up taking an hour tour of the region of Tuscany. It was beautiful but definitely NOT what we meant to do!
Palazzo Pubblico
We're very thankful for Rick Steves!
Once we arrived where we were supposed to be we found Piazza del Campo and Palazzo Pubblico. After looking at the artwork in the palace and climbing the tower to overlook the city and beautiful countryside, we sat in the piazza to enjoy our lunch and trail mix (supplied by my grandma). We also looked inside the duomo of the city (fabulous!) and climbed another tower in the museum next door. It was a really enjoyable day overall and the weather was nice and warm. Then it was time to return to a Sunday filled with homework…fun fun.
