Its been a busy week of nights out, concerts in the Campo, group excursions and of course school. The weather is finally nice and sunny here so Ive been enjoying more gelato and sitting in the Campo. On Thursday we took a group excursion to Bologna, Rimini and San Marino. We got caught in a thunderstorm in Bologna but our group lunch definitely made up for it.
This picture shows us caught in the rainstorm with nothing but our sweaters to cover us, the result made us look like nuns. We stayed the night in Rimini, a small beach town on the east coast of Italy known for the best discotechs in Italy. Somehow me managed to fail miserably at finding the "rocking" nightlife and instead walked 45 minutes around the city and ended up in a club full of middle schoolers. Needless to say the night ended with some gelato and nutella crepes to put us in a better mood. The next day we visited some churches and museums and had a few hours free time to hang out on the beach. It was wonderful although there was no one else in town it seemed, must not have hit the tourist season yet. After lunch we boarded the bus again to head for San Marino, a small independent republic within the heart of Italy. It has always been independent and the San Marino people are very proud of their heritage and independence. While touring the city we were caught in yet another thunderstorm however a nutella crepe made it all so worth it. We took the bus all the way back to Siena and arrived late Friday night. Yesterday we spent just walking around town and climbing the tower in the Campo, giving us gorgeous views of the town and countryside.
bunch of us headed outside the city walls to the boys apartment where we cooked dinner and watched the sunset. We took the 930 bus back into town and cruised around the Siena carnival for the evening. It is beginning to feel like summer and with my upcoming trip to Barcelona I have to constantly remind myself that I need to do my homework because I actually do go to school sometimes :)

stop lying we all know you dont go to school so dont worry about the homework. It sounds like you are managing to keep yourself busy and thats good to hear. I like the pictures and the little color change for the background looks good.
