June 3rd
Another morning run today, it was perfect weather this morning. We packed up to leave the vineyard & spent a few hours walking around Siena. It’s a beautiful town. We (or at least me) wished we had more time to see the church but couldn’t fit it in since the train to Rome will take about 4 hours this afternoon/evening. We bought our tickets for €33 and will arrive in Rome tonight at about 7pm. I have a bit of a concern that we may have only purchased one ticket for this journey but I’m not certain….I’m certain the ticket guy will let us know. I can guarantee you that I won’t be the one leaving the train!

I’ve decided that I must do some shopping…I did add a purse yesterday! It’s physically painful to walk by all of these beautiful shoes & handbags knowing that I cannot buy anything because we have NO room in our backpacks. I think I’ve convinced Steve that we should find a post office & ship home a bunch of our things so that we have room for more goods. We will see if that idea comes to fruition. We must also find a laundry in Rome. It is time or we’ll need to purchase new backpacks for the nice friends who loaned us theirs!
