Sandy Does Lunch in Siena

Friday we contacted Indah and Mentha and decided to meet them for lunch in Siena.  Alfredo, our new friend in Rapolano Terme tried to tempt us to come to his place for lunch but then decided Saturday would be much better.

After driving around the city a few times completely lost and trying to figure out where the closest parking lot to Piazza Il Campo was, I finally just got as close as I though I could and parked at Santa Caterina, which ended up being quite close but a hike up a steep road to the center.

We had lunch at a place Indah suggested and had a great time talking in between getting interrupted by the waiters who had all decided to take a special interest in entertaining us.

Indah and Mentha took us to an English language bookstore that they frequent in Siena called BookShop.  A great place to choose from a variety of books all in English.

Sandy, looking fabulous as always, joined me for some hard core shopping and browsing of all the Italian goods.

I made sure to have Sandy take the classic picture in Siena in front of Il Campo, the main piazza in Siena.

We shopped till we dropped, or I made Sandy just about drop with my excitement of shopping, and headed for home.  What a fun day with the girls!
