Yesterday afternoon, we arrived via train in Siena. Upon arrival, I could not believe the changes to the train station. A giant building now housed the train station along with shops and the Universita per Stranieri! I can't imagine having been in school so far from the center.
We took a taxi through town and I could immediately see that Mom loved Siena. We arrived at our apartment and Luca showed us to our apartment, which was spacious and lovely. We unpacked and settled into our new accommodations.
We then began to explore town and Amanda was so excited to show me all of her old haunts, how wonderful to share this with her after living through her experience vicariously. It is truly a dream come true. What a magnificent town, the architectural detail, the colors, and the shops are all so inviting and beautiful.
We had an apertif and then continued on to a restuarant to meet Charlotte and her family. We all had pizza and Amanda had a marvelous time catching up with her dear friend. As we were walking back to the apartment the lights went out in town, which was interesting but we made it back safely.
We were all quite tired and fell into bed.
