So this past weekend my program Study Abroad Italy took a large group of us to the Tuscany Region of Italia. On are way we stopped in a town called Vertibo, which is famous for their white wine Est Est Est, which has nothing on that cheap Cavot wine back home. After walking around and seeing the sites and what not we got back on our bus and headed to the Hotel in the heart of the tuscan region. My hotel roomed turned out to be a 6 person villa with the most incredible view. Soon having arriving to our new villa we put on our robes and headed down the the thermal spa, which apparently has magically healing powers. The rest of my trip consisted of pretty much that, waking up and going straight to the spas all day.
After a relaxing stay in our villa in tuscany we headed to Sienna which might be my new favorite town. Unfortunately I left my camera on the bus when I was walking around so I'll have to get pictures from my roommates. The town is famous for having an annual horse raise around the main piazza. This horse race is between the 14 rival nieghborhoods and once I put up pictures of Piazza de Campo you will understand just how dangerous it is. Unfortunately the race wasn't this past weekend and is in the late summer, but it is now made its way onto my bucketlist. The town is great and very chill but the reason I enjoyed it so much is becasue they have a tower where you can pay to go to the top and you have to most amazing view I've ever seen.
