Day 19 - Florence to Siena
Wednesday, August 14th
Siena – Heart of Tuscany
After breakfast, we checked out of our hotel in Florence and headed to our final destination, Siena.
We were greeted warmly by our hosts at Hotel Due Ponti. They even had a welcome reception waiting for us, not to mention rooms ready at 11am.
Students decided to explore the local neighbourhood and relax at the hotel for the afternoon. Our Classical Civilization students did their presentations at the hotel. Their presentations were on the worst emperors of the Roman Empire. Each student picked an emperor and made their argument to the jury as to why they were the worst. They even dressed up in togas!!
After dinner, we choose to stay at the hotel and relax after a busy week. Our photography students had their night photography lesson tonight behind the hotel.
Tomorrow we head in to the city center to catch the preparations for the Palio horse race.
