Snow

It snowed much of last night with thunder and lightening while we were eating, around 8 PM. Snowed again this AM as we headed into Siena for another day of school, the roads were very slushy and slippery as well and briefly heavy snow while we were waiting for the bus to go home. Still the sun always seems to return quickly and the snow doesn’t really last long on the ground here. Anyway, we are taking the bus pretty much every day now and it works out great – no jockeying for the diminishing number of parking spaces (or so it seems to us) and it’s pretty stress free and gets us right into the city and back home again in a flash.

After class we returned home and had antipasti and a glass of wine, did our homework and then it’s back into town for a 5 PM lecture at our school on the historical rivalry between Siena and Florence.

Dinner at home with leftovers and we tried a type of flat bean from Morocco. Very good and quite like the Italian flat beans which we used to see in New England some years back.
