Last Day in Siena

Today was so surreal. I cannot believe it's all over. Time seriously goes by too fast. I wish I could do this all over again. Today were our finals, which were not as bad as I imagined them to be. Then we had 8 hours to waste before our final dinner with everyone from school. Michelle and I went around Siena and did a little shopping and took some last minute photos. The Campo is being transformed because of the Palio coming up next week so it is cool. I got to meet Michelle's host family and see where she lives today, and she as well got to see where I lived. We got gelato, but neither of us really cared for it, because the flavors were so gross! It is pretty much hit or miss because we dont know what the flavors are, just if they look good we will try them haha. My all time favorite has to be fragola (strawberry) followed by Menta (mint). I'm going to miss everyone here and my host family. They treat me so well. I'm all packed and ready to head out for Roma tomorrow, but because it is so close to returning home to the States, a part of me just wants to go home already. I won't be able to continue my Italian in the fall due to schedule conflicts, so I hope I don't loose too much of what Italian I've learned here and find a way to continue with it. Pictures and how Roma goes will be up next week! So sad to leave Siena...such a perfect little city. I will miss it. =(
