Lazy Sundays

Since our group has been on the go constantly, some of us decided to just hang in Siena for the weekend and do absolutely nothing. We kicked off the weekend with a group dinner at our apartment where Giusy taught us how to make her famous Carbonara. It was nice to finally not set an alarm and have to worry about catching a train, plane or bus, but rather wake up whenever, stroll to the corner cafe grab a macchiato and a panino then lounge in the campo for hours. It was the first weekend it was warm and sunny and on Saturday they had the annual Mercato where they fill the campo with white tents and vendors come from all over to sell fresh meats, wine, cheese, honey, jewelry, hats, crafts, etc. So we just spent the majority of the day wandering between the stands and mooching off the free samples of deliciousness, split a bottle of wine and watch the sunset behind the Piazza.
