Today was a good day....we decided to return to Siena since it is such an incredible place. It is like going back into medieval times.....the hotel that we stayed at while we were there dated back before the 1200's...and we think that things in America are old! it is very crowded here this week due to the grape harvest......I am glad that we are not trying to get in this week, but will be trying to get out. We met some folks today from Boston.....we drove from here to Siena in our rental and the road was unbelievably scenic....I am including some pics......we got a little lost in Siena and ended up driving on roads that we weren's supposed to.....not good. We found a little grocery store and finally got some essentials. The food here seems more intense.....the tomatoes taste more like tomatoes, the coffee is excellent and strong, the eggs are eggier.....you know what I mean! I just wish the dollar was not so weak....it takes $1.40 per Euro so you have to add 40% to everything you buy so we are really watching it. Since our timeshare is on a farm we do not need an alarm clock...we have a friendly rooster that wears a watch and starts crowing at exactly 6:00 am and we just lay in bed and laugh....he crows for about an hour each morning.
Hope everyone there is well......we miss you and will start our journey back on Saturday....I hope it is not too hard to get back, we miss you all!
Love, Tom and Jackie
