I bottini

Our group had the fantastic opportunity to visit the ancient underground waterworks of medieval siena so on the day of our appointment, Tuesday we arrived at the assigned location and waited for a guide to appear, an hour later someone came to tell us there had been a mixup, come back tomorrow. Wednesday we show up same time, same place, a representative from the school shows up and we think it is for sure this time, but after 30 minutes the rep is on the phone and the conclusion is reached that we need to come back the next day. Obviously we were all a little annoyed by this because we had wanted to visit another city one of those days and our plans were foiled time and time again as the schedule kept falling through but after some talking we decided this was really just a cultural experience. In Italy appointments are much more lax than those in America, this isn't a difference I'm partial too but it's all part of the journey. Finally Thursday we made it underground, and wow, it was worth the wait! The tunnels
