San Gimingano, I think, was a town built with one purpose: Torture. There were three museums dedicated to the act of torture. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, because honestly, I really only went to the museum so that I could say that I went and it was air conditioned. We weren't able to take pictures inside, so all i have to offer are the pictures from outside.
There was also this AMAZING silver shop- the jewelry is all handmade and if it didn't fit you, the owner would make it fit you right then! I didn't buy anything because I bought an emerald gufo (owl) pendant literaly a few moments earlier at an alabaster shop, but had I not, something in that store would have been coming home with me. The first picture is just an example of some of the stuff that's available, but the second picture is a ring that was actually purchased by a faculty member, Dr. Christensen. I LOVE it, and I keep threatening to steal it (it's actually on MY finger in the picture), but I'm pretty sure she's stronger than me, so possibly I should just let it go.
Tomorrow, I'll post my pictures from Siena, and, as a very very very special bonus, a video blog of our whole group singing a song on the bus from Siena to Casa Cares. This is not something you'll want to miss. Trust me, people.
