Okay, now for a brief current update.
Claire is back! I don't think I have talked so much in my life in a few short hours. We shared stories, laughed and ate. Today we are in Siena. The Lesson, when in doubt, ask a hotel. We must have walked up the same street fifteen times!
OH Rusty...this morning Claire and I re-experienced our equine reproduction class rather unexpectedly. I'll spare you the details, but let us just say that when you have a Donkey Stallion with a Mule Mare, it is a good thing mules are sterile.
We are ambitiously planning day trips and will take a weekend trip somewhere for my birthday.
As I rewalk through the streets of Siena, out of the wilderness, I must say it is good to be in civilization, amongst people, accordians in the street, pastries on every corner. The city is starting to prepare the Piazzo del Campo for the Palio and I can not wait to experience it! As I meander through the streets I think of all the things I wish I could bring home with me...namely the atmosphere, random gadgets and completely useless flags, baking hats and other random gear.
Today we are off to go grab a piece of pizza, get groceries (always an exciting adventure) and look at horse.
Watch out Europe...I am running loose and my adventurous spirit is rekindled!
OH! And today I bought by first espresso....YUM! WHAT is happening to me? Poor Claire and Anna...I'm a little wired. Actually...as Anna says, I have sugar with coffee, not coffee with sugar. haha.
Don't forget to read the novel below, it has some good stuff too! Thanks for your comments, even if I don't respond they always put a smile on my face.
Love you all!
