Pretty Pretty Picture Posting

I thought I'd add some more pictures to this, just some of my favorites. I can't write about all of them because that would take too long, but at least they give you all a glimpse into what I'm doing and seeing here!



This one is for Rebecca. It's from the Sunday all-organic market. It and some of the other stuff for sale reminded me of our fun felt hats we tried on in Turkey! Plus I thought you would like this bag :)




Siena. Beautiful.







Gelato. My love. Seriously, it's an art form here!






This is right on the corner of one of the buildings in a main piazza of town. Dates back to a medieval straw market (this is the "sign"). How cool is that? Left over sign from the 14th century? Just stuck on the side of a building that managed to survive WWII bombing? Awesome in my book. Oh, for those who are wondering, they used the straw to stuff their mattresses. (And as far as I'm concerned, Italians still stuff their mattresses with straw. I miss my comfortable bed at home!
