Sarah, Kellin, and I got up and ready to go by 8:30 and headed back to the train station. There we met Sebastian and got our tickets to Arezzo. We were meeting Stephanie (who had stayed in Arezzo overnight) to go through the town to see its monthly antique fair and some of the sights it offered.
Kellin and Sebastian are extremely happy to be on a train
I didn't know anything about Arezzo before the trip so I was in for a pleasant suprise. It is a nice little city with a lot of neat old buildings, beautiful churches, and very steep streets going uphill from the train station. Oh, by the way, we were kicked out of our seats on the train because we had unknowingly sat in a first class compartment. So we had to move back out with the common folk.
As soon as we got to Arezzo we met up with Stephanie who was able to guide us around.
We spent the whole day looking at stalls of antiques and knickknacks that we couldn't afford or didn't need. We also saw five churches (Sarah and I only went into four because mass was being celebrated in one) that had some amazing frescoes and other works of art and wonderful architecture.

One of the many streets full o'people
We had lunch in a big park at the top of the hill that had some amazing views of the surrounding countryside and towns. Also, somewhere in the park someone was playing some music from Enya, the Braveheart soundtrack, and other such music. It was a really fun and tiring day. The sun really wears us out when we're walking around all day. I only wish we could have afforded to buy some of the goods, oh and that someone would magically transport it back to Ohio for us.
We got home kinda late, ate dinner, and didn't last long before we fell asleep.
This dog was humiliated to be wearing pink shoes
My new job
In one church or another - I'm too lazy to go back and see which one it was
Can you find Kellin?
