On Tuesday of this week, we took our last group trip. We went to Siena and San Ginignano and I have to say I really wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. In Siena we got to see St. Catherine of Siena's finger and head that are there and then got to tour the city. The city is different from Florence in that it is built in the hills and most of the streets are sloping. We also got to see the race track where they hold the famous horse races every year. The views from the city were also amazing. After being there for a few hours, it got pretty hot and I was ready to go.
San Gimignano was a neat little city on top of a hill. Even though I was exhausted, I still enjoyed it. After getting some gelato from the gelateria that was voted best gelato in the world multiple times, we relaxed and walked around. Just like Siena, San Gimignano had great views. They also had some great leather shops. In Florence, there is a lot of leather but sometimes I find that every single leather shop has the exact same bags. It seemed as though San Gimignano had maybe a little more variety. But overall, there two cities really surprised me in how much I enjoyed them.
