la bellissima città di Siena!

I am in Siena! (beautiful, beautiful Siena. I cannot get over how pretty this city is.) After a long day of travel, my roommates and I finally all made it here. Yesterday was a holiday (Easter Monday) so we spent the day exploring the city.

(This is essentially what every street looks like.)

il Duomo. This building is absolutely exquisite.

Our first gelato! (at Kopakabana)

I had pistacchio, nocciola, and fior di latte, buonissimo.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am Italy--it's so exciting to hear snippets of Italian conversation and speak it all day and soak in all of the culture that surrounds me. It's only day three and I love everything already.
