11 February, 1999

I have greatly neglected my duties in this journal over the past few weeks, but let me try to recap a little. On Friday, 22 January, the school group took a trip to Siena and San Gimignano. We had to be at the train station at 7:45am. On the way out of the hotel at 7:15am, the breakfast lady, Giovanna, stopped us and insisted that we let her pack us a breakfast. So we brought the big bag of rolls and two cartons of orange juice and had a quick snack at the train station. It was so nice, that we all pitched in and bought a salami for her in San Gimignano.
