4th Week of Classes

This week of classes was good, we really didn't do too much new stuff. We made gnocchi and faggioli and tiramisu last night for cooking class and I thought I was going to explode. It was one of the best meals I have ever had, maybe the best. I am excited to come home and cook for everyone. Today is a national holiday in Italy. I did not want to go anywhere really today so I decided to take the weekend to explore and see the sites of Siena and try to find anything cool that no one really knows about on the trip. I was exploring to the south of the city and I ran into some lost 40 year old married women. They had turned the wrong way out of their hotel and were trying to get into the walled part of Siena. I hiked them the 2 miles back and took them to Il Campo, where they bought me an expensive lunch at one of the restaurants on Il Campo. There was the Campo Comedian messing with all of the tourists today. He is a random guy that has a lot of props that squirts people with water bottles and all sorts of weird things, it was really funny. We parted ways and I have been exploring since, I have found some cool picnic areas and some other cool restaurants that I will try out in the next few weeks. It has been getting warmer and warmer here so we are finally hanging out in Il Campo with all of the Italians our age. I am finally getting to be able to converse in Italian so I can almost hold a very elementary conversation. Keep sending emails, I want to know how everyone is doing.
