4 weeks!

Hey everyone! So today makes exactly four weeks since the day I left! In some ways the time is flying and in others it is crawling at snail pace. Every day something new happens, it seems, and I still have a lot to learn.

I just took my first midterm and my second midterm will be on Thursday.

Thank you all for following me and my trip so far! It has been very exciting to see how many people have seen this (don't worry, I know nothing except numbers!)

If you have any questions, or comments please post them!

In the next few days, events surrounding the Palio are picking up. Tomorrow they will choose the horses who run and begin the series of trial races. The actual Palio is Saturday. It's going to be a busy week for all of Siena.

drums are going right now.

brum brum-brum, brum brum-brum br br brum brum-brum

always drums.
