Tea House

If you are ever in Siena and you love hot  beverages and delicious sweets, or you just want to relax...go to the Tea Room on Via Porta Giustizia. It is the perfect hideaway for rainy Sundays such as today. You can sample dozens of exotic teas and lounge in the cozy atmosphere. Definitely not a tourist trap -- I felt like I was doing my homework in my imaginary Italian grandmother's living room.

And there is a couch. With a fireplace. 

This Friday I went to Florence for the night. As in 9pm to 8am. I'm definitely going back, but I'm glad that I chose to live in Siena -- I heard English everywhere I went and they were even playing American ESPN on the tvs in some of the bars. Whats up with that?!?

BUT, we did manage a fairly nice picture of the Americans that night:

This was one of the most American places we went (notice the American college signatures on the walls)
