Ciao, Pisa to Siena

So after an hour plan ride...getting luggage that was really fun haha NOT!!! Was kinda funny since I was just talking to Chelsea and Sarah about how losing our luggage would be the worst nightmare ever...Oh wait it HAPPENED!!!!  But not to me, Thank God but to Chelsea and Sarah and a few other people...technically they're luggage was left behind because the plane was to heavy...i just find it funny that my carry on made it onto the plan before their luggage did haha. Well I def. think they're loving Siena so far #joking.  But we got on a bus and wow was the scenery amazing...we passed so many vineyards and after 2, 3, 4...i passed out. Was like counting sheep.  Everyone passed out on the bus and woke up to being in Siena.  We arrived at the Athena Hotel and wow the elevators only held one person in it...so small. I got my room number which was 411 my room number for next years housing in Eastview...Coincidence...I think NOT. But we only get one key to the room and have to leave it at the front desk when we leave.  But I met my roommate Peter he's really cool!!! Plays the guitar and he's frickin GOOD!!!! But i wish I could have taken a nap but literally dropped my stuff off and off to Welcoming Dinner at Enoteca Italiana. 


So we ate in a wine cellar which was so cool...it was so cool I met some of the coolest people.  Our table was definitely the table that had the most fun (Chelsea, Peter, Lauren, Vicki, Ellyn, Briana, Analiza, Sergio, & Natasha)  We got served homemade Ravioli's, then a beef (that was so soft it melted in your mouth), and then for desert a sweet pastry.  


After dinner a few of us just walked around Siena and we stumbled upon the Il Campo or the Tower we called it...Magnificent!!! This was where the horse races took place in Siena between the different districts of the city.
