singing in the rain siena style

Yesterday was a typical tuesday. Woke up and went with my roommate Katie down to the nearby cafe called MeetLife and sipped on a cappucino. We met up with our group at the University of Siena and spent an hour talking with locals university students about different topics and how our cultures differed. Had a short lunch break and was strolling through the streets enjoying the sunshine and warm weather on my way to Italian class. During class the rain started pouring and when I mean pouring, I mean monsoon. We literally ran through the streets of siena without umbrellas and some without shoes, screaming and laughing the whole way. All the Italians were waiting it out, in the shops or under umbrellas and we just shook off the strange looks we kept recieving. Thunder and lightening accompanied our laughter and we were just those crazy American girls. It was quite an experience. We all looked like we had just been swimming!

ciao for now!
