Cowboys in Siena?

After a low key day of meetings , housing orientations and applying for a student permit. Lauren, Giusy and I prepared dinner - chicken, salad and bruschetta (something slightly more manageable than our previous dinner). We then got ready for a night out on the town. Our group then met up and began our night of bar hopping. Everywhere we went was packed, so we never stayed for more than 5 minutes. After three failed attempts, we finally ended up at this cute little place called "Il Cambio". It's a little hole in the wall with a group of old men dressed in cowboy outfits singing Johnny Cash and the Beach Boys. Half of the songs they translated into Italian, and the rest they just left in English.

After about an our and half we were too sweaty from jumping around (mosh pit, crammed bobbing of heads and flailing of arms definitely did not qualify as dancing..) so we decided to hunt for a late-night gelateria, but only small cafes were open so instead we discussed weekend trips. Looks like I found two friends, Alexandra (Vanderbilt) and Lily (Tufts), to accompany me to Greece for at least the first half of spring break. Other places that people talked about going for the second week were: Barcelona, Berlin, Paris and London. I might opt for Berlin seeing as I have already been to Spain, England and France. As far as weekend trips we're planning: Venice, Milan, Pisa, Naples, and Prague. The great thing about our class schedule is that almost every Friday our classes are held in a different museum or section of Florence (what we like to call "hands-on art history classes"). That way, afterwards we can just jump on a train to our desired destination!
