Italy: Florence and Sienna, Wednesday 3/20/24
Day trip to Sienna! We had breakfast at Bianco, a small cafe near the car rental place, Rental Plus, then went to pick up our rental car. Andrew, as usual, had taken on the task of driving us all to Sienna, about an hour away. Sienna has an outdoor market every Wednesday morning, and we were happy to have chosen this day as the day of our visit. We found parking in a garage and navigated our way to the market (with a few wrong turns). It was a huge market--I imagine this is where people who don't have Target do their Target shopping. I got a purse, Lucia and I got some fancy straps to swap out on our new purses, Lucia got some crystals, Mom got a wallet. Then we had lunch at Bar Il Palio, sitting outside, overlooking the main piazza. It was a lovely setting. We had: Drinks: glasses of prosecco (me and Mom), beer for Andrew, hot chocolate for Greta, Fanta for Lucia Me: quattro formaggio pizza Andrew: Toscana pizza Lucia: prosciutto and burrata Greta: pappardelle with wild boar sauce...
