Sienna is a quaint, little town in Tuscany, and was recommended by my friend Priya, who studied in Italy. We loved it, and it was a nice break from the busy, touristy cities. Our hotel was the best of our trip... with a great view of the countryside and delicious, homemade breakfast!

After we got settled, we walked around the old town and had dinner in the main square, Il Campo. We did a little shopping, too, of course!

Happy Halloween! We saw a few cute little kids dressed up but Halloween is not widely celebrated here like it is in the US. Below was my favorite... Little Miss Sunshine!
We were planning to leave Rome the next morning but we liked Sienna so much we decided to spend the morning there before heading to Rome. We climbed another tower, for a beautiful view of Tuscany. The hotel recommended taking the bus to Rome rather than the train... bad decision! The windows of the bus were permanently foggy so we could not see out! It was a long ride, but we made it.
