Monday, May 31

Today was me and John Murray's last full day with the tour, as tomorrow we strike out on our own. It was, however, a wonderful day in Italy. We awoke, and while some of us were rather cheery, others (myself) had to work to get out of bed after a late felato run last night. After some coffee and breakfast, we boarded the bus for Siena. Upon our arrival, we explored the Duomo of Siena, and then were set loose upon the town. We spent the day indulging in a variety of activities, including tower climbing, cathedral investigation, crypt exploring, and shopping. There were also many museums, as well as gelato and 1/5 slices of pizza for 2.5 euros. I personally climbed to the top of a part of an uncompleted cathedral, the view was amazing. After returning to our hostel in Florence, we were allowed the evening free to find supper and just relax. A large group met on the roof for memory sharing and story telling. All in all, it's been a fantastic day.
