Small adventures.

Oh, hello. With the insistence of my parents, in this post I have included more "detail about my time here in Siena". Evidently they were less than impressed with all the hard work I put in to taking sneaky photographs of elegant men, but Evs, I'm over it. So here you go.



Went to the beach last weekend and the weekend before last.
(If you happen to be in on this little inside joke...Floorboard Wykowski-Semet had a waterbirth and pregnancy is the longest thing ever).
Naomi, Tiff, & Cheryse at Castiglione de la Pescaia! Mediterranean Sea!
I'm gettin' tan.

The Gallery Continua in San Gimignano. Beautiful contemporary gallery.
Tipsy? Maybe a little bit.

More dreamlike at Gallery Continua.

Well at the center of San Gimignano. Are you there, Mr. Wind-Up Bird?

San Gimignano and its 11 medieval sky scrapers.

The group traveled to Florence the weekend before last.
Kitten asleep on the Piazza del Michaelangelo in Florence.

Odd combination of Michaelangelo's David and Robert Mapplethorpe's form photographs. Separately, awesome. Together...ur doin it sort of wrong.

Tiff, Cheryse, Kelsey, & Dana having lunch in Florence.

Me. Eating a banana outside the Uffizi. No stress when you're eating a banana.
You can quote me on that one.

Jodie. Roommate. Hawaiian.
At the Irish Pub with internet & cappuccinos.

Bedroom.

Uncomfortable sitting area.

Kitchen. Eh, you love the talking stove!
Riight??


Megan & our street in a downpour.

The Palio procession!

Nicchio contrada (the epic Shell disctrict) pre-gaming festivities.

View from the tip top of the Duomo.
Moments before lightening.

Tiff, Naomi, and Veronica during the, ahem, lengthy walking tour of Siena.

I guess that's all for now. Heading to Verona for 3 days tomorrow, so more events to detail.

Love & gnocchi, sem.

  1. ok first off, i see you are spending time with miss parpala. HLLYS!!!! secondly, i'm thrilled you went to San Gimignano. It is a grand place.Excellent art/music/dance festivities and yumster gelatos. If you have the chance, go to Lucca and rent a bike to ride around the city walls. Should only be an hour train ride or so from Siena!
