Fun times in Siena

So I decided to have a crazy night last night. My roommate and I live around 15 minutes away from the city walls, so because of that reason, we live in a neighborhood of old Italians, where no cars are. The buses that leave our neighborhood stop at 9 so we never get to go out at night and enjoy the night with the rest of our group. Last night, we just didnt care and we took the last bus to take us into the city knowing that we had no way home.

We met a couple of the girls in the Compo and we went to the Tea Room. The tea room is exactly what it sounds like! It is a room that is covered in Tea Sets, musical instraments and ties. You can order any drinks or cakes that you would like and you can stay as long as you want to. A couple of the girls ordered some Tea and they give you an entire pot. I didn't order anything, but it was a really cute place. Because I am sick, I got really tired, and wanted to go home at midnight. Luckly for us, there is a bus that leaves Piazza Gramcshi at 12:20. I finally got home and went I got back, my "mom" was already asleep.

That next morning I was having a bad day and sick, so I slept in until around 12. My other roommate had already left for school. At twelve I got out of my room swollen, drugged and tired. My host mom looked at me and started busting out laughing. ( This lady is like 80 years old). She wouldnt say anything to me and was laughing as hard as she could. I gave her this look and told her that I wasn't feeling good. She laughed even harder and then looked at me and went "Discotecca!!". So apparently she thought I got drunk last night at a party and woke up in the morning with a hangover. She still doesnt believe me. She even was gonna bring out alcohol at dinner the next night.

For dinner we were able to spend it with Peirina and her son! ( Don't worry he is like 50). He was a really nice guy and was explaining to me that he owns a winery. He told me I could come whenever I wanted and help make the wine and see how it is done. I was really excited. He also brought out something to eat that was a little strange.... He offered us his favorite meal which is a cows stomach. I told him I would try it, so for that night for dinner I had the lining of a cows stomach. It wasnt that bad, just rubbery like eating a vein in a piece of meat.

Anyways thats the end of my fun!
