Carnivale

We have been so busy since coming to La Romita, but it's a welcome change of pace as far as not having to carry everything around on our backs during our trips into the cities. Unlike Florence and Siena, we can spend an entire day traveling and leave everything in our rooms here without worrying about not having something on hand. The rooms are nice, the view of Terni is beautiful and the food is amazing. We are going to be so spoiled when we leave for Rome...

The last day in Siena was great, also, and I just haven't had a chance to write about it until now. After visiting the Duomo in Siena, and after doing some more sight-seeing with the larger group, we split off and had a little free time before dinner to explore Siena a little bit. Sarah, Leslie, and I found a traveling carnival in Luna Park, a large park right across from our hotel. There were lots of children running around, several booths similar to what you would find in the States, and one of those massively tall slides that reaches the tree tops. Sarah and I paid 1.5 Euro each to climb to the top and ride down it. And that was the most fun thirteen seconds of the trip. Leslie got some great pictures of it...
